External SWA (Steel Wire Armored) cable glands in outside electrical installations in the UK should comply with the 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) to ensure electrical safety and compliance with the latest standards. Here are some key considerations for using external SWA cable glands according to the 18th Edition of BS 7671:

  1. Selection of Cable Glands:
    • When selecting cable glands for external installations, consider the environmental conditions, such as exposure to weather, moisture, and temperature variations. Choose glands that are suitable for outdoor use and provide adequate protection against ingress of water and dust.
  2. IP Ratings: Pay attention to the Ingress Protection (IP) ratings of the cable glands. Outdoor cable glands should typically have a higher IP rating to protect against the elements. A common choice for outdoor use might be IP66 or higher, which provides protection against heavy rain and dust.
  3. Material Compatibility: Ensure that the material of the cable gland is compatible with the SWA cable sheath and any other materials it will come into contact with. Stainless steel or brass cable glands are often used for outdoor applications due to their corrosion resistance.
  4. Cable Gland Sizing: Choose the correct size of cable gland to match the diameter of the SWA cable being installed. The cable gland should securely hold the cable in place while providing strain relief.
  5. Cable Entry and Exit Direction: Consider the direction of cable entry and exit in relation to the equipment or junction box. Ensure that the chosen cable gland allows for a suitable cable entry and exit orientation.
  6. Earthing: Ensure that the cable gland provides a means of earthing, especially if the SWA cable is part of an earthed system. Proper earthing helps dissipate fault currents safely.
  7. Sealing and Gasket: Verify that the cable gland includes an appropriate sealing mechanism or gasket to maintain the integrity of the electrical installation, especially in wet or damp conditions.
  8. Installation: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing the cable gland, including torque specifications for tightening the gland. Over-tightening can damage the cable sheath or gland, while under-tightening may compromise the seal.
  9. Inspection and Maintenance: Periodically inspect cable glands in outdoor installations to ensure they remain in good condition and provide effective sealing and protection. Replace any damaged or deteriorated cable glands promptly.
  10. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that the use of cable glands complies with the 18th Edition of BS 7671 and any other relevant local regulations or standards.

It’s important to note that regulations and standards can evolve, so it’s essential to consult the latest version of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and any other applicable documents or guidelines when planning and executing outdoor electrical installations using SWA cable glands. Additionally, always engage qualified and experienced electricians or electrical engineers for outdoor electrical work to ensure safety and compliance.
