Why are some people so precious about fitting these things? I understand electric is dangerous and things must be done correctly. But why is something so simple made so difficult by these you tube experts in the comments? Thanks for the video, 4 minutes is exactly all I needed.
When I was an apprentice (1972 to 78) I was told to fit a coupler between the gland and this type of single/two gang knockout boxes because the gland protrudes into box making it difficult to fit a switch or whatever onto box. Terminating two armoured into this size box then fitting a switch/socket/spur/? will be difficult.
Hi Steve hope your well. Yes I'm well aware these are Inside glands. The outside gland has a extra rubber seal. Just for the simplicity of the video I just showed a basic swa termination.
european electrician here. Can someone please explain me why yall using armoured cables? I guess that there is an good reason for that, because that seems like a overkill to me. I think that the armour is the earth?
@@somestranger8966 If for burial armoured is the preferred in the UK. But we do use a lot of other cables outside as long as it can offered outside protection. I'm sure it's the same for you. But we have a regulation book that basically tells us what cable we need to use for where and weather it needs to have additional protection ect.
Hi Its a good question, firstly if its buried underground, and you then stick a spade/shovel through it, the armouring gives good mechanical protection. Secondly, if you do manage to go through the armouring and into a live conductor the main route/path back for the live conductor is armouring-spade-earth, and not through the folk holding the spade.
This would not meet hazardous area requirements, where the outer sheath must be captivated within a sealing ring, so no armouring is visible. This does not look very weatherproof.
@@jeffeloso I don't know I assumed it was just a code here's what I found BW Gland - Brass gland for use with steel wire armoured cables (H694-XL). Used to provide clamping of the armour wire to ensure electrical continuity and mechanical retention of the cable. The BW gland is used for indoor application when a waterproof seal is not required. CW Gland - Brass gland for use with steel wire armoured cables (H694-XL). Used to provide clamping of the armour wire to ensure electrical continuity and mechanical retention of the cable. The CW type gland is used for outdoor applications and where necessary to provide an IP66 seal with the outer sheath of the cable.

Nicely done
Looking at this video, how watertight are we, looking at it i would still say the system is still only 90%
U forgot gland ring bro
Easy with pixie cable
See comment from a below, these are INTERNAL glands and must not be used outside

The armoured is earthed and it offers mechanical protection in case it gets damaged. It all depends of the location and application.
@@stanstools728 We are using NYY-J for outside applications. But this seems weird for me xD. But I guess that yall know what you're doing

Stfu
It's a bw gland obviously not waterproof, so you are not quite the expert you think you are.
@@solidus784 What do the letters BW and CW stand for?
@@jeffeloso I don't know I assumed it was just a code here's what I found
BW Gland - Brass gland for use with steel wire armoured cables (H694-XL).

@@solidus784 Thank you for your helpful reply.
This work is back job or reject armored it should be all inside the gland 😭
This is wrong, gland ring not fixing
not good
