Abstract
This improved gland assembly is primarily for use with mineral insulated cables. The same gland body and lock nut is used for cables regardless of the cable diameter. The dimensions of the compression ring are the same, except for the ring bore, which matches the diameter of the cable. The lock nut bottoms on a shoulder to prevent overtightening of the nut and risk of fracturing the sheath of the cable.
