Why use an adaptor or reducer?

Aug 9, 2023

When cable glands secure a cable to a piece of equipment, sometimes, there will have compatibility problems happened.
For example, the thread diameters or thread types of some system components differ from those that were originally intended.
That’s when you need an adaptor or reducer.

Reducer and adaptor are provided a means of connection between equipment and cable glands with dissimilar thread types or thread sizes.
The different between adaptor and reducer is an enlarger are used when the cable gland has a larger connection thread than the thread hole on the device.
Oppositely, a reducer are used when the cable gland has a smaller connection thread than the thread hole on the piece of equipment.

The advantage of using an adaptor or reducer is there no costly and complicated conversions or retrofitting and save you money and work.
Reducer and adaptor are simple, screw-in devices to assist equipment in creating a seal that can resist dripping water or high water pressure, even some high standard adaptor and reducer can also be used to prevent entry of flammable gas into equipment enclosures in hazardous areas.

Jixiang provide high quality reducer and adaptor are made of Nickle plated brass or stainless steel. And circle or hexagon is available for easy installation.
Reducer and adaptor are come complete with a O-ring seal for male threads. The O-ring is located within a recess on the face of the product, helping to protect the O-ring from environmental damage and ensuring it is not displaced during installation.
