A PG 9 nylon cord grip in black, supplied with its O-ring and locknut, for cable or tubing between 0.15 and 0.32 inches. Techspan builds this family in polyamide with an NBR seal and publishes a protection degree of IP68 at 5 bar plus IP69K — the high-pressure washdown rating — so it belongs on equipment that gets hosed, not just equipment that gets wet.
Why the thread designation matters more than the hole size
PG is a European thread standard, not a metric or NPT one. A PG 9 grip will not thread into an NPT hub, will not take an NPT locknut, and cannot be chased with an NPT die. Panel builders order these by the PG number for exactly that reason, and the most commonly returned cord grip at any counter is one that was ordered by the knockout size instead of the thread.
The other half of the order is the cable range. Techspan lists 0.15 to 0.32 inches for this size. A jacket under that range will not be gripped by the seal even with the dome nut fully tightened, and an oversized jacket stops the nut closing far enough to compress the NBR ring at all.

Pro tip from the counter
PG threads are why these come back. PG 9 is not 3/8 in. NPT and it is not M16 — it will not start in an NPT hub, and forcing it cross-threads the nylon on the first turn. If the enclosure is already drilled and tapped NPT, order the NPT dome connector instead of adapting: a thread adapter adds a second joint to seal on a fitting whose whole job is to be the only joint.
Best for: panel builders, OEM machine shops and washdown environments where cable entries have to survive a pressure wash rather than just shed rain.
Common questions
What cable diameter does the RDC09AA actually seal on?
Techspan publishes a cable or tubing range of 0.15 to 0.32 inches for this PG 9 size. Anything outside that band needs the next grip up or down in the same family.
Is PG 9 the same thread as 3/8 inch NPT?
No. PG is a separate European thread standard, so a PG 9 grip will not thread into an NPT hub or accept an NPT locknut. Match the thread designation, not the knockout size.
Does it come with the O-ring and locknut?
Yes. Our product record lists it as supplied with the O-ring and locknut, and Techspan's catalogue page shows the lock nut, washer, body, seal and sealing nut as the parts of the assembly.
What temperature range can it handle?
Techspan states minus 40 to 100 degrees Celsius in static service and minus 20 to 80 degrees Celsius in dynamic service, with short instantaneous heat resistance above each of those figures.
