Why Choose the Partex PXBW-25S M25 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-25S is a professional M25 BW indoor cable gland designed for terminating suitable armoured electrical cables in indoor electrical installations. Featuring an M25 metric entry thread and a specified cable diameter range of 18.0–24.0 mm, this gland provides a practical cable termination solution for electrical distribution equipment, control panels, switchgear and industrial installations.
As part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-25S is intended for applications requiring the termination of suitable cable armour at an electrical enclosure entry. BW-type glands are commonly associated with steel wire armoured (SWA) cable installations in dry indoor environments. Their mechanical armour termination arrangement distinguishes them from A1/A2 glands intended for unarmoured cables and CW-type glands designed for applications requiring additional outer-sheath sealing.
The Partex PXBW-25S is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel builders, industrial installers and maintenance engineers working with compatible armoured cables. Its 18.0–24.0 mm cable diameter range and M25 entry thread provide defined selection criteria for cable gland sizing. The cable construction, armour dimensions and installation accessories should be checked before fitting to ensure the gland is appropriate for the intended application.

Reliable Indoor Termination for Armoured Electrical Cables
Correct cable gland selection is essential when terminating armoured electrical cables. The Partex PXBW-25S is specified for cables within the 18.0–24.0 mm diameter range and uses an M25 metric entry thread. Its BW-type design provides a dedicated termination arrangement for suitable cable armour, supporting the mechanical connection between the cable and the electrical enclosure entry.
The PXBW-25S should be installed using the correct cable preparation method and in accordance with the relevant Partex instructions. Installers should confirm the cable outside diameter, armour construction, gland compatibility and any required earthing or bonding accessories. As a BW indoor gland, it should not be assumed to provide the environmental sealing associated with a suitably specified outdoor CW gland. Any required ingress protection rating, earthing continuity performance or installation certification must be established from the manufacturer's technical documentation and the complete installation arrangement.
Typical Applications
- Indoor steel wire armoured cable termination where compatible.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial control panel cable entries.
- Electrical plant rooms and equipment enclosures.
- Commercial building electrical distribution systems.
- Machine-building and industrial power installations.
- Motor control centres and associated electrical equipment.
- Indoor junction boxes and cable termination enclosures.
- Industrial maintenance and electrical refurbishment projects.
- Power cable installations requiring compatible armour termination.
- Electrical equipment with suitable M25 threaded cable entries.
