    Wiska Glands excellent customer service

    I had some glands recently that were not the usual decent quality. The rubber inserts were stiff and wouldn't compress too well. Annoyed me as I bought them for a Cu change and had to use some horrid membrane glands instead to get the job done. I emailed the customer services asking why the...

    A3 CU Bespoke Glands

    Just spotted these in PE; Don't think I would use them instead of a Sprint Gland or similar, where the tails were subject to movement, but where they aren't, the TKS would be better than their Sprint Grommet. :)

    Plastic compression glands for T&E into metal CU

    I'm sure this will have come up but what are the thoughts on cable entry into metal CUs? Obviously from the rear is simplest but if cables have to come in from below then do we need to use metal glands or are plastic ok?

    Trunking from CU (with fire-proof glands), does it need to be non-combustible?

    For cables coming out of a CU and running where someone getting tools on and off a shelf next to the CU may knock against the cable if careless. I'm intending to give them some basic protection by putting trunking over them. The cables coming out the side of the CU go through non-combustible...
