Why choose a rubber grommet instead of a plastic cable gland?

1.

Less affected by weather, UV-light and ozone – less inclined to dry up, crack and come lose.

2. More resistant to acids (Phosphoric, Saltpeter, Hydrochloric & Sulphuric).
   
3. Handles larger temperature span than most glands.
   
4. Quick and easy installation from one side only — not necessary to be able to reach opposite side of installation to attach locknut.
   
5. Ideal where space is restricted - less protrusion and space needed.
   
6. Ergonomically better, no negative effect on wrists since it does not need to be screwed into place.
   
7. Superior to cable gland up to IP67, except where strain relief is at a premium. Less work and time needed for installation compared to a cable gland - thus lower cost.
   
8. The opening is always sealed until the membrane is pushed out – no need for stop plugs or blind plugs in the mean time, which creates extra costs.
   
9. More economic solution.
