Stainless steel cable gland 253 mm – code: 40.223.25 – Osculati

Osculati stainless steel cable gland 253 mm (code 40.223.25)

The Osculati stainless steel cable gland is a hardware component designed for the neat and safe management of rope passage on board. This version is identified by the code 40.223.25 and is distinguished by the 253 mm size, adatto a installazioni dove serve un punto di rinvio/guida stabile e ben rifinito. È una soluzione tipica in ambito nautico e impiantistico di bordo, utile quando si desidera proteggere il percorso della cima e mantenere un layout pulito sul ponte o su superfici di lavoro.

The product is supplied in pairs (right and left), a practical detail to achieve a complete and symmetrical installation.

Features and details

Below are the available details for this specific variant:

• Brand / Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 40.223.25
• Material: stainless steel
• Supply: in pairs (right and left)

Dimensions (253 mm variant)

This datasheet refers to the configuration with the following measurements:

• Length: 253 mm
• Width: 46.5 mm
• Hole spacing: 208 mm
• Max rope Ø: 22 mm

What does “right and left” mean”

Supply in pairs right/left is useful when the installation requires two mirror elements, for example to guide a rope consistently on both sides or to complete a passage over a wider area. In practice, this results in a neater and more uniform outcome, reducing the need for adjustments during assembly.

Typical onboard applications

A fairlead is an accessory of nautical hardware used to guide the rope along a defined path, limiting friction and keeping the operation cleaner on the deck or other surfaces. Depending on the boat design and the arrangement of the lines, it can be used in various points.

• Handling lines: guiding ropes near operational areas where it is important to maintain an orderly passage.
• Turning and routing: supporting the rope path towards blocks, clutches, or other components (depending on the setup).
• Fittings and refitting: replacement of worn components or hardware upgrade to improve line organization.
• Onboard systems: use as a guiding element in contexts where controlled rope passage is required.

The choice of the correct size depends on the installation geometry and the diameter of the rope used: for this variant, dimensional references and the Max rope Ø 22 mm.

Advantages

• Order on board: help keep ropes routed consistently, reducing clutter and “improvised” passages.
• Complete installation: the supply in pairs (right and left) facilitates symmetrical and refined configurations.
• Stainless steel material: suitable for nautical contexts where stainless steel components are preferred for the hardware.
• Simpler selection: the sheet shows key measurements (length, width, hole spacing, and max rope diameter) useful for quick checks before purchase.

Usage and installation notes

To achieve a functional and clean result, it is advisable to carefully check clearances and alignments before final fixing. In particular:

• Check dimensions: compare length 253 mm, width 46.5 mm and hole spacing 208 mm with the available space and any existing drillings.
• Compatibility with the rope: check that the rope diameter falls within the indicated value (Max rope Ø 22 mm).
• Positioning: consider the rope path to avoid too tight angles or interference with other equipment.
• Pair mounting: if the installation involves two elements, correctly identify the right and left piece to maintain passage symmetry.

If you are replacing an existing cable gland, it may be useful to also measure the hole positions and the support area, to minimize adjustments during assembly.
