I on the other hand am a rank amateur but wanted to thank you for an outstanding lesson which has allowed me to update and extend a power supply in my garden for a pond pump and filter I’m installing in a long derelict pond. Really appreciate the new learning and I’m confident I’ve put in a safe and waterproof setup.

That's great, to the point, clear and not drawn out by irrelevant content.

Wow what a step by step guide to making SAW cables off this is 👍.

Very useful video when I needed to shorten and fix some SWA in a brass gland, many thanks

That was a perfect presentation 👌

Brilliant video. I'm actually wiring armoured ethernet cable to an outside building, not electrical, and have no experience of using glands, so this was a great video to answer everything I needed to know.

Excellent training video - many thanks!

Great video. Some simple but effective techniques to make a really nice connector.

Thanks GSH, great video and much simpler than the CK SWA cutters 👍 great to see how to do glad

Great description

I'm not in an assocusted trade.. I'm wiring my shed up with SWA and whilst I had a good idea of how to deal with SWA it's good practice for me to see how it's done properly. My SWA terminates at an isolator in the house which will be wired to a 32amp feed.. and terminates the other end in my shed in an RCD unit. I'm not paying £1000 for an electrician to do exactly what you've just demonstrated. So thank you.. you've saved me a Bob or two ;)

I really do miss working with SWA. Never thought I'd say that after running 1500m of it with 80 glands but after using the north American equivalent (teck 90) I do. Teck 90 has an earth conductor inside it and the aluminium armour which is segmented making it less flexible than swa isn't considered rated for cpc but still needs bonded. Add in the fact they have 120v/208v here which means two live conductors and a neutral making the wire even bulkier.

Excellent presentation, looking forward to trying it out in anger.

Very good but you forgot to push the shroud upwards to cover the gland, thanks Gary, great lectures.

I work on Gas sites, and the glands we use need to be intrinsically safe. The way you terminate the SWA is different. My AM2 is coming up and I need to refresh my mind on how to do a normal gland… haven’t done one in ages!

Thank you for this informative video. This is really helpful. Can you make one video for big cable with o ring in them.

Very good video it would be good to explain this is an internal swa gland and the difference between this and the 2 piece external type. You leave quite a lot of armour exposed i was taught to use thumb up to first nuckle back in the day .

We wanted to gland a 3 core 185mm² SWA cable. According to the chart, gland size 50 was suitable. As it turned out, 50 sized gland was small, and we had to purchase size 63 gland at the last moment. Therefore, with experience I say, don't blindly follow the chart. Purchase one size bigger along with the original chart suggested size.

He is a lad

might be a good idea to also advise that this is an inside useage gland pack ie. bw20s and there are external gland packs for outside use cw20s , bw should not be used for outside terminations etc

This is really nice, but how I actually fix this into a plastic enclosure, what to do with banjo, etc is the stuff I would really like to see. Do you have a video on that part too?

It would be good if you could make a video on how to make off an SY gland, thanks.

I wished we could all strip armoured like that lol. My on-site experience of armoured is much different. Generally been sitting around for a bit and damp sets in. The inner insulation gets stuck and makes it impossible to separate from the inner cores lol. Have to use a knife to cut the length of insulation and peel apart. Great video for the basics though.

Hi Mate, Nice video, only one thing missing,... you inserted the rubber before putting in the Gland but you didn't do anything to that, I was wondering, do you tape that in, or do you cover the gland in any other way? Thanks H

We have nothing like the SWA cable in the US for building wiring systems. I like its flexibility and the metal strand protection, isn't it also water resistant.

Can I tighten the gland with adjustable grips for the am2

I've just seen a video where it is said that there is a gland for outside use and a gland for inside use, do you teach that.

How about terminating a 70mm armoured into an already installed waterproof gland (including working out the set). A 70mm armoured that's taken 4 blokes 2 nightshifts to pull in - No pressure! This is quite tricky and can be a bit nerve-racking if you've not done it before.

How about a 300mm 4 core using E1W glands not these CW glands, I hate them always looks a messy job until the sleeve goes on. I much prefer the separate cone and olive, then you can open the gland and inspect it without disturbing the compression of the steel wire armouring.

Hi there I have just purchased a set of swa glands but when I go to fit one there is NO THIMBLE on the end of the nut. Just the threaded bit. How can I fix the armoured wire without this thimble, please ? It's impossible to screw the two threads together with the wire over the main thread of the gland.

Cool, i was taught to leave 0 armour exposed? My glands are just straight plastic to the gland 0 armour? Does it matter, looks alot cleaner to me

Any advice for removing the inner sheathing when it is quite long and difficult to pull off? As per 12.57 in your video. 👍

Leave it on until your cable enters the isolator that you are connecting to. That's if you have a long tail from where you put your gland on.

What’s the TPNE 16A SWA ciricuit like on the am2?

Are there any different earthing requirements when connecting SWA to a TNS or TNCS supply at the CU end.

@@GSHElectrical Thasnks for the reply Read this on a MyBuilder post "For a 40amp supply a 6mm or 10mm SWA cable would be required. If the incoming house supply is PME (TNCS) then a 2core SWA cable should be used with a local earth electrode driven into the ground at the garage end making the garage submain a TT supply. If the incoming house supply is TNS, then the earth can be exported and a 3core SWA would be preferable with the third core used as the CPC and cross bonded to the outer steel wire armouring.". Thought it was wrong.

Just one point regarding H&Safety, you have to put quite a lot of force into the junior hacksaw and the knife when cutting the outer covering and SWA, it is a good idea to put a protective glove on the one hand holding the cable. Especially apprentices who have not developed the skills yet. How many of us slipped and have caught our hand. Good job though.

i'm doing that with the file

Are there any task specific tools - like a pipe cutter for scoring through the SWA?
