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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXBW-25S used for?
The Partex PXBW-25S is an M25 BW indoor cable gland intended for the entry and termination of suitable armoured electrical cables into compatible electrical enclosures and equipment.
What cable diameter range does the PXBW-25S accept?
The PXBW-25S is specified for cables with a diameter of 18.0–24.0 mm. The cable's actual dimensions and armour construction should be checked against the relevant Partex gland selection information before installation.
What thread size does the Partex PXBW-25S have?
The PXBW-25S features an M25 metric entry thread for installation into a compatible electrical enclosure opening.
What does BW mean on a cable gland?
BW identifies a cable gland type commonly used for terminating suitable armoured cables in dry indoor environments. BW glands provide an armour termination arrangement but should not be assumed to provide the outer-sheath environmental sealing associated with CW-type glands.
Is the PXBW-25S suitable for steel wire armoured cable?
The PXBW-25S is a BW-type armoured cable gland, a design commonly used for compatible steel wire armoured cables. The cable's outside diameter, armour dimensions and construction must be checked before confirming suitability.
Can the PXBW-25S be used outdoors?
The PXBW-25S is specified as an indoor cable gland. For outdoor or moisture-exposed installations, a suitably specified gland providing the required environmental sealing should be selected.
What is the difference between BW and CW cable glands?
BW glands are generally used for suitable armoured cables in dry indoor environments, whereas CW glands incorporate additional outer-sheath sealing arrangements for applications requiring greater environmental protection. The correct type depends on the cable construction and installation conditions.
Does the PXBW-25S include an earth tag, locknut or shroud?
The supplied product specification does not confirm whether an earth tag, locknut, shroud or other accessories are included. The package contents and any additional installation components should be checked before ordering or fitting.
Does the PXBW-25S have an IP rating?
A specific IP rating has not been established for this product. Any required ingress protection performance should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation and the completed enclosure installation.
How should the correct BW cable gland size be selected?
Check the cable outside diameter, armour construction and enclosure entry size. The PXBW-25S is specified for a cable diameter range of 18.0–24.0 mm and has an M25 entry thread; all relevant cable and gland dimensions should be confirmed before installation.
