Engineered for Unmatched Protection in Harsh Environments

Imagine wiring up equipment in a relentless downpour, submerged conditions, or dusty industrial zones without a single worry about water infiltration or cable damage. The Newmar WPF-2 waterproof fitting delivers exactly that level of confidence. Designed specifically for IP68-rated assemblies, this compression-style gland creates a rock-solid, waterproof seal around cables while securely mounting to your enclosure. It's the go-to solution for professionals tackling demanding installations where reliability isn't optional—it's essential.

What sets the WPF-2 apart? Its robust retaining nut locks firmly into place, while the compression hub molds tightly around wires of varying thicknesses, from 0.35 inches to 0.71 inches. This adaptability means fewer headaches matching fittings to cables, saving time and reducing errors on the job.

Key Features That Deliver Real-World Performance

• Superior Sealing Technology: Achieves full IP68 waterproofing, protecting against prolonged submersion and high-pressure jets.
• Versatile Cable Compatibility: Handles cable diameters from 0.35" to 0.71" (9-18 mm), ideal for power, data, and control lines.
• Precision Fit for Enclosures: Requires a 1.14" (29 mm) mounting hole, perfectly aligning with PG-21 knockouts in explosion-proof (EX-rated) housings.
• Corrosion-Resistant Build: Crafted from high-grade, industrial polymers that withstand chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.
• Effortless Installation: No special tools needed—just tighten the nut for a secure, tamper-proof seal that exceeds industry standards.

Engineers love how these fittings simplify retrofits and new builds, ensuring compliance with stringent safety regs without compromising on speed.

Detailed Specifications at a Glance

Pro tip: Always verify your cable OD before selecting—accurate measurement ensures the tightest seal and longest lifespan.

Step-by-Step Installation for Flawless Results

1. Drill or punch a precise 1.14" hole in your enclosure wall.
2. Slide the cable through the fitting body and compression nut.
3. Insert the body into the hole from the inside, then thread the nut from outside and hand-tighten.
4. Use a wrench to snug it up (torque per specs to avoid over-compression).
5. Test the seal with a water spray or submersion check before powering up.

This straightforward process cuts install time by up to 50% compared to traditional glands, letting your team move faster without sacrificing safety.

Ideal Applications Across Industries

From offshore oil rigs and marine vessels to food processing plants and chemical facilities, the WPF-2 shines where moisture meets electronics. It's battle-tested in:

• Explosion-proof control panels in hazardous locations.
• Outdoor telecom cabinets enduring rain and snow.
• Submersible pumps and wastewater systems.
• Military-grade enclosures demanding zero-failure performance.

Users report zero leaks even after years of vibration, salt spray, and temperature swings—proof it's built to outlast the competition.

Why Pros Rely on Newmar WPF-2 Over Alternatives

In a sea of generic cable glands, the WPF-2 stands out with its EX-rated compatibility, broader cable range, and foolproof one-piece design. No more mismatched parts or field failures. It's not just a fitting; it's peace of mind engineered for the toughest jobs.
