Dual cable entry gland box

My solar project is on a 16’ cargo conversion. I installed two panels on the roof. I needed this gland in order to make solar cable intry to the utility space i have under a cabinet. This gland has held up nicely after a year. I do recommend placing a small screw in both the front and rear of this gland to help secure to the metal roof. On warm days the gland wanted to lift up after the RV roof sealer got hot. The two small stainlesss screws did the job. I do recommend this gland if you are adding solar panels on your RV or conversion project.

works good, looks good

Great product easy to install

If you're feeding cables (think solar, although there are many other possibilities such as CATV) through something like an RV roof you have a basic problem -- how to do it without water getting in. If you're ok with the feed coming from the bottom then a clamshell works for spray, and you can caulk that (with something removable, like silicone) around the edges. But that will not take direct exposure, which is why the clamshell. This is designed for direct exposure such as wind-driven on-axis (whether from wind or driving) and to keep the weather out. Which it does, and the housing is wide enough at the base to use screws, something like a marine-grade sealant (e.g. 4200) or, even better, both -- just use stainless for the screws if you want to be able to get them back out (and you probably do.) The only thing to be aware of is that this is ABS -- that is, PLASTIC -- not fiberglass. Were it fiberglass with gelcoat it would probably last 20 years in the sun. It might look like it had been in a war, but it would be fine. Being ABS expect about five in full sun exposure, and check it YEARLY. That thing about screws being removable up above, yeah, that's why -- you will eventually have to replace it, so do think about that and how you'll unthread the wiring to do so. For this application there isn't better that I can find, so yes, highly recommended. Just use your head.

Worked great on the roof of my RV. Half the size of the OEM one installed on the other side. Was able to fit 8awg wire through the connectors without issue. Started installation by removing a recessed light in the bedroom that was 8 inches from a wall. Lights just release and hang; they are held in with 2 spring clips. Reached in with my hand and felt a plastic vent pipe going to through the wall to the roof. Went on the roof and drilled a 1/2 inch hole down through the roof and through the 2x2 stud going across the wall. Ran 2 8awg wires down and pulled them out through a small hole I made in the wall under the sink. Ended up ripping the whole thing apart and made the hole 1 1/4 inch to be able to use this wall as a chase. Unit installed on the roof with butyl tape and Dicor. Fastened it with 4 screws. Looks great.

This is actually on the outside of my workshop for building computers (ie, wood siding). It's not painted or primed, so if it's exposed it must be painted. UV breaks down plastic, not heat, so PAINT it. I've converted entirely to solar and am running the 10 ga. wire through this from the panels to the battery...and they fit like a glove when the nuts are tightened even slightly. This thing works very well, seals tight, and is well made. A little caulking all the way around on the flange that butts to the surface of the wood, a coat of paint the next day and it's as watertight as it can be. The nuts are a little close together, so you may need a wrench to tighten them if you have bigger fingers..not a lot of room to work right there. I'd use silicone on a smooth surface, boat or RV, but keep in mind silicone is NOT paintable unless it's labeled so (silicone/acrylic).

Not much to say, good quality and perfect solution for keeping water out.

This worked perfect for running starlink cables through my RV roof. It's the clean professional install look I was going for. I needed to get the larger size to fit the widest part of the starlink cable through.

Good item arrived in time. Used this to bring two WiFi co ax through the roof of Motorhome. Works fine. Did drill some holes around the flange and glued and screwed to the roof. WiFi coax are very small to able to pass the connectors through the gland and then fit the unit to roof. Just fits under the antenna stand off bracket as well.

I bought it a couple of years ago and it is still going well. Not leaking and everything still looks good

It was strong and not flimsy sealed to the motorhome roof really well good tight connections waterproof and neat looking

Just what I needed

I got this to allow rear camera cables through the back of the caravan without water ingress. So far so good. If you are thinking of getting one of these, make sure the plastic nuts will screw down enough to compress into the cable otherwise you'll have to use sealant to seal it. There are different sizes.
