4-1 NOTE : 

Do not use above sizing chart for either unarmoured cables or to select protex Gland type. Please refer to the individual product data sheet. 

Selection charts are intended as a guide. It is strongly recommended that the actual cable dimensions are checked against the Gland dimensions to ensure a correct selection. This is particularly important where seals are required.
CABLEACC. and their stockist cannot accept responsibility where an incorrect selection is made either of type or size.
