Wiping Glands are traditional cable gland solutions designed specifically for lead sheathed cables and paper insulated cables, widely used in legacy power systems and heavy industrial installations. We are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of Wiping Glands from India. We have been supplying Industrial Cable Glands and Brass Cable Accessories to the world market for many decades. Our Wiping Glands are manufactured using high-grade Brass and precision machining to ensure secure cable retention, effective environmental sealing, and long-term mechanical durability. These glands are commonly used in Power Plants, Substations, Heavy Industrial Units, Refineries, Railways, and Infrastructure Projects where lead sheathed cable terminations are required.

Overview – Industrial Wiping Cable Glands

Wiping Glands are specially designed for use with lead sheathed cables where the lead sheath is wiped or soldered to create a secure and moisture-resistant joint. These glands provide mechanical cable support and maintain earthing continuity in electrical installations.

Key Features:

  • Designed for Lead Sheathed Cables

  • Secure mechanical retention

  • Reliable earthing continuity

  • Corrosion-resistant Brass body

  • Suitable for indoor and industrial environments

  • Custom thread configurations available

Wiping Glands are often used in older power infrastructure systems where paper insulated lead covered (PILC) cables are installed.
