AM3 Tails Stuffing gland

[davesparks]

How would you guys ensure earthing for a metal tail gland into AMD3 board; if you dont mind me asking on this thread. Would you provide a banjo and/or fly lead/nut; or scrape off the paint for lock ring ?

Use a star washer/paint cutting washer or else one of those locknuts with the little teeth on them.

Use a plastic gland. There're cheaper than the metal ones, especially the GripLoc ones.

Post 24 still no idea what an AMND3 stuffing gland is. What page of BS7671 should I be looking at for a reference.

I think it's a way of riding the coat-tails of a new reg, in the hope it'll increase sales for new products which aren't really necessary.

Been meaning to load these for a few days I put the tails gland agenst the board to see for size. There's a 20mm stuffer and 20mm coupler just for size reference. The tails gland is massive so that is being sent back and I'm going to go for a 32mm stuffer for the tails.

But you wouldn't get 2x 16mm tails in a 20mm stuffer would you? And if the tails are 25mm?
The only issue with the bigger gland is cutting the damn hole. But the bolt up plate cutters make quick work of it.

 

[Gazthesparky]

Yes I know you wouldn't get tails in a 20mm stuffer they are just there as reference as to how big and clunky the 40mm tails gland is.

I am going to go with a 32mm stuffer for the tails as they enter from the bottom

The Griploc 25mm tails gland is 32mm, is that the one your referring to?

How do you mean? Ive not had to cut one yet. CU's normally come with a 32mm knockout, Can use a stepdrill if you need to make it bigger for whatever reason.

Think Pat means these Q-Max QMA40M Q.max Sheet Metal Hole Punch 40mm - https://www.rapidonline.com/q-max-qma40m-q-max-sheet-metal-hole-punch-40mm-86-5326
knock out the knockout and screw in place tidy hole every time and no mess available in most sizes. I love them.

Yes that's correct. I'm not keen on the stepdrill when they get to that sort of size. Lots of swarf. the hole punches are much neater.

Grrrrrrrr, the Grip loc ones are 32mm diameter. Save yourself money on drills, punches and whatever else. Plus the GripLoc ones are cheaper than the Wiska ones; GripLoc® Consumer Unit Tail Kit - Nylon - http://www.remora.net/catalogue/nylon-cable-glands-plugs/GripLoc-Consumer-Unit-Tail-Kits/GripLoc-Consumer-Unit-Tail-Kit-Nylon
