The compound should be kept at an ambient temperature of no less than 20°C prior to using. At lower temperatures it becomes difficult to mix. Should any compound come into contact with the skin it should be cleaned off with skin cleaner and not allowed to dry on the skin. Only compound for immediate terminations should be mixed. The mixing and installation of the compound at an ambient temperature below 5°C is not recommended due to extended curing periods.

A seal must be formed between the equipment and the cable gland to maintain the appropriate degree of protection against ingress of dust, solid objects and water. ACCESSORIES: Before cable gland assembly or stripping of the cable gland assembly, consideration should be given to any cable gland accessories that may be required, such as: Shroud, to offer additional corrosion protection. Locknut, to secure cable glands into position. Sealing washer, to offer additional ingress protection of the enclosure at the cable gland entry. [. . . ]
