What is the M16 designation?

Troubleshooting
Gland is not sealing properly
Ensure the cable diameter is within the 5-10mm range. Check that the neoprene seal is correctly seated and free of debris. Tighten the locking nut firmly but avoid overtightening, which could damage the seal.
Difficulty fitting cable
Verify the cable diameter is within the specified 5-10mm range. If the cable is too large, a different gland size will be required. Ensure the cable is round and not ovalized.
Gland feels loose after tightening
Confirm that the mounting hole in the enclosure is the correct 16mm diameter. Ensure the washer is properly positioned between the gland and the enclosure surface. Tighten the locking nut again, applying firm, even pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, first select the appropriate gland size for your cable (5-10mm diameter). Drill a 16mm diameter hole in your enclosure or panel. Insert the cable through the gland body. Thread the gland into the pre-drilled hole, ensuring the washer is in place for a good seal. Tighten the locking nut to secure the gland and compress the neoprene seal around the cable, creating the weatherproof seal.

Care: To maintain the IP68 seal, periodically check that the locking nut is secure and that the neoprene seal is free from damage or debris. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the Nylon or neoprene.
