Cheaper glands come with galv locknuts. Higher end ones still use brass locknuts.
CMP come with galv lock nuts. I always thought they were at the top end of the market ?

the cmp glands definitely come with brass lockrings.I'm pretty sure that CMP glands are what we are using, but they certainly don't come with galv locknuts in our kits. As i say, it might just be a cost cutting thing they do in the UK...

http://WISKA EC607 EARTH CLAMP PLAT...to see our full range of PVC Adaptable Boxes.
these are quality when glanding two SWA's in to a wiska adaptable box when doing out side lighting etc
yep lol, struggling to get a picture loaded up my end for some reason.
I thought they had a screw thread. They’re no damn good the slightest strain and the gland will pull out.
I seem to recall someone saying they were an improvement. Can’t say I’m impressed.

They are designed for the wiska adaptable box, the knockouts in the box have a thread.
The poll makes no mention of Wiska boxes.

Piranha lock nut every time
So to use a Piranha locknut on a conventional box you need a locknut. That really makes sense.
About as much sense as this thread.
to be truthful, it's not a locknut, it's a nut. the grubscrews provide the locking.
Not voted in the poll as it depends on the box type you are glanding to. See a lot of banjo's externally on IP rated boxes with a hole drilled through the casing compromising the IP rating.
Use the pirana or earth nuts on plastic boxes makes installs quicker and neater and no IP is compromised.they are over a £1 each but worth it.
Not seen the wiska brass plates but they look good to me as putting any type of lock nut internally inside the box is a fiddly job due to the prethreaded holes. Cheers Leesparkykent will give them a try
That is a myth. Why does a 6mm hole with a bolt through it compromise the IP rating when the 20/25/32 etc.. hole next to it with a gland through it does not?

That thing in the picture is not a piranha nut, it's a wiska thing specifically for their boxes which is a bit rubbish really.
What do you by no thread? As in no thread on the inside of the nut? I've got a bag of them in my tool box and they are definitely threaded! Although i am now doubting who the manufacturer is :S i get them from cef anwyay.
Piranha nuts are threaded, and also have grub-screw positions on each flat (so 6 positions). The come with 1 Allen key screw to lock the nut in place, and 1 cross-head screw and washer to fix an earth lead.
