{"title":"Cable Glands","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery cable through a roof or a wall is a hole, and the gland is the only thing between that hole and the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat sounds obvious. The number of caravan ceilings with a water stain under the solar cable entry says it is not. A cable pushed through a drilled hole and sealed with whatever was in the shed lasts a season. A gland made for the job, with a proper seal around the cable and a flange bedded onto the surface, lasts as long as the roof does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo formats do most of the work. Cable entry glands for a roof, in single and double versions, with a low profile cover that sheds water and a base wide enough to seal onto a curved or textured surface. Threaded nylon glands for a bulkhead or a box, where the cable passes through a flat panel and the gland clamps the cable as it tightens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the gland to the cable. A gland sized for a heavy battery run will not clamp a thin solar lead, and one sized for the solar lead will not pass the battery cable at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBed the base properly, use a sealant rated for UV if it is on a roof, and route the cable so it enters the gland from below where it can. Water follows cable, and a drip loop is the cheapest waterproofing there is.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rekcharge-m16-black-nylon-cable-gland","title":"Rekcharge M16 Black Nylon Cable Gland","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStop water and dust in their tracks.
