Description
Minco’s multi-conductor leadwire and cable seal fittings are designed for use
in applications which require one or several conductors or cables to pass
through an oil-filled housing or bulkhead within a small area. Their
construction allows the fittings to be used in pressure applications up to 50
PSIG.
The fittings may be ordered with several variations.
- The fitting may be ordered as a complete unit as the FG4015 series or as FG4014 with AC4015 grommet kit.
- Grommets may be ordered split for easier installations.
- Fittings are ingress protection rated to IP65/IP66.

Schedule of Limitations
- The fitting may be ordered as FG4014 series fitting body and cap, but must be assembled with an AC4015 series grommet accessory kit to meet the ATEX and IECEx approvals listed above.
- Neoprene grommet operating temperature range is -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F).
- Fluoroelastomer grommet operating temperature range is -40°C to +90°C (-40°F to +194°F).
- Fittings are offered with 1/2 NPT or 3/4 NPT threads on the process thread. Fittings are directional and the process thread (marked “P”) must be assembled into the bulkhead or machine housing.
Installation Instructions
The leadwire and cable seal fitting package includes a pressure seal fitting, grommet, compression plug, cap fitting, and leadwire plugs (plugs are for the split grommet models only).
- Thread the NPT end of the pressure seal fitting (marked “P”) into the bulkhead or machine housing. This thread will be either 1/2-14 NPT or 3/4-14 NPT, depending on the option purchased.
- Pass each conductor through the bulkhead or machine housing and pressure seal fitting.
- Split grommet models only: Spread open a slit portion of the grommet and place a conductor into each slot.
- Standard grommet models only: Pass each conductor through the grommet.
- Split grommet models only: Press a leadwire plug (provided) into each empty grommet hole.
- Pass each conductor through the compression plug.
- Pass the connection end of each conductor through the cap fitting, as shown in the illustration.
- Begin screwing the cap fitting onto the pressure seal fitting by hand. Wrench-tighten the cap fitting until all cap fitting threads just disappear into the pressure seal fitting. Torque the cap fitting to 30-35 ft-lbs (41-47 N-m).
- Add a connection head or other conduit fitting by threading onto the back of the cap fitting.
NOTE: Leadwire and cable seal fitting may be combined with Minco RTDs using AC100324 elastomer rubber-filled cable. See chart for grommet hole size selection when AC100324 is combined with Minco RTDs.
