Gland for MK 32A commando plug

[haptism]

Anyone know what gland for is needed a MK 32A commando socket to hold a flex ??? Its got a thread for a gland (see pics) I expect its a stuffing gland if using flex but its an odd size.
Its for a commercial single phase oven 16Kw

It might be on a 32A circuit, and will just trip instead of melting.

Approx 100 seconds later

You lot might be a preserve of knowledge but Charlie youre still boring, but nothing wrong with that mind I don't discriminate. And of course its not a 16KW oven, I mean ---- man that's a lot of cake

Had similar issue with brand new plug. I just put the black gland in a vice (gently) and turned anticlockwise. Took some heft, but it did eventually come loose. There should be 3 plastic jaws that grip the cable sheath that move in/out when rotating the gland. No tools necessary (less the vice), “should” be tool less install..ya think?

Welcome to the forum, @YankeeFixr , but replying to a 4 year old thread isn't going to offer anything new.... but then, the previous messages looks more like a --- for tat than any viable solution
