SWA STORM® Glands – Join the Gland Revolution

30th June 2022

The revolutionary STORM® glands from our sister company SWA are a superior alternative to the conventional BW and CW glands, promising nothing less than fast, easy and reliable terminations.




With improved ingress protection (IP68) and faster fitting over standard armoured cable glands, the UV stabilised STORM® glands can be used from -20°C to +80°C, are non-corrosive, zero halogen and suitable for both armoured and non-armoured SY and CY cables.

Approved to BS EN 62444:2013, the quality manufactured STORM® range represents a major advance in armoured cable glands, bringing together the latest design techniques and ultra-modern materials to offer substantial benefits for installers, such as the innovative anti-rotational design, which allows the upper assembly to rotate independently of the brass armour-clamping ring, eliminating the damaging effects of rotation on armour wire.






The high-quality, flame-retardant polyamide used for the cap and outer body is entirely halogen-free, helping them meet the increasing demands required for safety in buildings and public spaces. STORM® glands also require a lower tightening torque than conventional glands and can be quickly inspected by simply unscrewing the gland’s upper assembly, making installations quicker and easier.

STORM® glands have also been designed with non-metallic outer bodies, which means no shroud is required to protect against corrosion. This great design feature not only reduces the installation time, but also solves multiple problems that conventional plastic shrouds pose, including the inability to check the integrity of the armour clamping after fitting, and the fact that shrouds themselves trap water, actually causing the corrosion problem they are supposed to avoid.


The STORM® range is available in two types from thread size M20 to M63:

STORM® gland with locknut and earth tag

STORM® Tauras gland with EarthingNut™ and crimps
