Split Locknuts
Description
Split Locknut
The Split Locknut is available separately as a replacement or spare for the corresponding divisible cable entry product. Its practical two-part construction allows it to be assembled around a cable or threaded entry that is already in position, avoiding the need to disconnect or remove the cable.
This design is particularly useful during maintenance, repairs and retro-fit work where a conventional one-piece locknut cannot be passed over the installed cable. Once correctly assembled, the locknut helps hold the compatible cable entry product securely against the enclosure or mounting surface.
Important: This listing is for the locknut only. The complete cable entry product, cable gland and any additional components are not included. Please check the required size and product compatibility before ordering.
