Tlc sell glands although I have started to buy them from my wholesaler they do the nylon ones that seem to go from 20 up to 32 mm and they are a lot cheaper than sf and tlc.

I think you are supposed to use nylon insulating rings, either side of whatever they are going through.

plastic enclosure between SWA and DB?

Surely the CU will be insulated anyway, therefore standard gland but no earth lug?

Prefer not to have another earth present in the same CU - check out Denmans new range of SWA glands they're nylon so id you don't connect earth it does what you say above.
