Description
Split Locknut – Replacement Component
The Split Locknut is a separately available replacement or spare component designed for use with the compatible split cable entry product. Its practical two-piece construction allows it to be fitted around an existing cable or threaded entry without needing to disconnect or remove the cable.
This makes the Split Locknut particularly useful for maintenance, repairs and retrofit installations where fitting a conventional one-piece locknut may not be possible. Once correctly assembled, it helps secure the compatible cable entry product against the enclosure or mounting surface.
Important: This listing is for the Split 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.
