About SWA Glands

A short guide to selecting the right gland.

• SWA glands provide mechanical termination of the steel wire armour, earth bonding continuity, and ingress protection at the point of entry.
• The two common types are BW (indoor) and CW (outdoor / weatherproof, with an outer seal). The body sizes in this chart apply to both.
• The "S" suffix (e.g. 20S, 50S, 63S) denotes a reduced inner-seal variant for smaller cable outer diameters within that gland body size.
• Always check the cable manufacturer's published outer diameter and the gland manufacturer's data sheet — cables from different makers vary, and this chart is a general guide.
