AstralPool Vertical cable gland - 4403010117

Vertical cable gland 4403010117

The vertical cable gland 4403010117 is a dedicated sealing fitting for pool projectors, designed to route and secure the power cable as it enters the projector niche or junction area. It ensures a watertight passage for the cable and helps maintain the overall waterproof rating of the underwater lighting system.

Function of the vertical cable gland

In underwater lighting, every cable entry must be properly sealed to prevent water infiltration. The vertical cable gland 4403010117 compresses around the projector cable when tightened, creating a secure seal that keeps moisture out while still allowing the cable to be positioned correctly. This helps protect both the projector housing and the electrical connections against corrosion and short circuits.

Design for pool projector installations

The vertical cable gland 4403010117 is designed for use in compatible pool projector niches and junction points. Its vertical layout makes it suitable where the cable must pass straight through the wall of a housing or box, limiting bending stress on the cable and simplifying routing inside the niche.

• Vertical entry design for straight cable routing.
• Sealing elements sized for standard projector cables.
• Constructed from corrosion resistant materials suitable for pool areas.

By using the correct cable gland reference, you help maintain the original sealing performance specified by the projector manufacturer.

Installation and replacement

The vertical cable gland 4403010117 is installed in a threaded opening provided in the projector niche or enclosure. During assembly or replacement, the cable is passed through the gland, and the sealing nut is tightened to compress the seal around the cable jacket.

• Mount the cable gland in the designated threaded opening.
• Pass the projector cable through the gland before making connections.
• Tighten the nut carefully to ensure a watertight seal without damaging the cable.

Any work on pool lighting and associated cable entries must be carried out by a qualified installer following local electrical safety regulations and the projector installation manual.

When to replace the cable gland

Over time, seals in cable glands can harden, crack or deform due to temperature changes, UV exposure in technical areas and normal ageing. Replacing the original part with a new vertical cable gland 4403010117 is recommended whenever there are signs of wear, when the projector niche is opened for renovation or when the cable itself is being replaced.

• Ideal during projector refurbishment, cable replacement or niche upgrade.
• Helps prevent water ingress into the niche or junction box.
• Recommended if the existing gland no longer tightens correctly.

Using the correct replacement cable gland helps protect the projector, reduces the risk of leaks and supports long term reliability of the underwater lighting installation.
