Why Choose the Fibox GPA M12-B Hexagonal Lock Nut?
The Fibox 7016408 GPA M12-B is a compact polyamide hexagonal lock nut designed for securing compatible metric cable glands and other threaded cable-entry accessories to electrical enclosures, control panels and equipment housings. As part of the Fibox GPA cable gland accessory range, it provides a practical non-metallic fastening solution for M12 cable-entry installations.
Manufactured from durable polyamide, the GPA M12-B offers the advantages of a lightweight, electrically insulating and corrosion-resistant material. The hexagonal profile enables straightforward tightening during installation and helps secure a compatible cable gland where a lock nut is required on the inside of an enclosure wall.
The lock nut features an M12 × 1.5 metric thread and has a thickness of approximately 5 mm with an overall width of approximately 20 mm. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for cable-entry installations where internal enclosure space is limited.

Secure Fastening for Cable Gland Installations
Cable gland lock nuts are used to secure threaded cable glands to enclosure walls where the cable entry does not provide a suitable integral threaded connection. The Fibox GPA M12-B threads onto a compatible M12 × 1.5 cable gland from inside the enclosure, helping hold the gland securely in position.
Its polyamide construction makes the GPA M12-B particularly suitable for non-metallic electrical installations where corrosion resistance and electrical insulation are desirable. The compact hexagonal form also allows convenient tightening while minimising the space required around the cable entry.
Typical Applications
- Securing compatible M12 cable glands.
