flexible pipe sealing connector with names such as; Flexible gland, whip pipe gland, flexible pipe connector and many other names are also known, which have the task of connecting the flexible pipe to the desired place, as well as protecting the parts inside it.
Flexible glands are divided into 3 models: Male, Female, and Connect.
Male flexible gland consists of a body, part cover, flat sealing washer, lock nut, Liquidtight Ferrule and cylindrical sealing washer. The Male flexible conduit connector is used to connect the whip tube to the cable tray, distribution box, electrical panel, etc.
The Liquidtight Ferrule side of the piece which is connected to the flexible tube and the other side of the gland is installed by creating a hole with the required diameter in the desired location and fixed from the back with a lacquer nut or screwing the flexi gland in it by creating a thread.
