Overview

The Perko 0424DP0CHR is a watertight cable outlet for 5/16 inch outside diameter cable, made from brass with a chrome-plated finish. It uses a rubber grommet to seal around the cable jacket and mounts on a 1-1/4 inch base with #4 screws.

This fitting is used where a cable needs to pass through an exposed surface without leaving an open path for water around the jacket. The chrome-plated brass body also works well in visible locations where the hardware finish matters as much as the seal itself.

Key features

• Fits 5/16 inch outside diameter cable
• Rubber grommet seals the cable pass-through for a watertight cable run
• Brass construction with a chrome-plated finish
• 1-1/4 inch base diameter for a compact mounting footprint
• Uses #4 mounting screws

Installation and fit

Fit is based on the cable jacket outside diameter, so measure the finished cable before ordering rather than going by conductor size alone. A cable that is materially smaller or larger than 5/16 inch will not seat in the grommet the same way.

The 1-1/4 inch base and #4 screw size suit smaller cable runs on a deck, cabin top, console, or similar surface where you want a neat pass-through without stepping up to a larger deck gland. It is a sensible choice for permanent cable runs where a simple sealed outlet is all that is needed.

Use on board

This outlet suits boats that need a tidy pass-through for a single cable in a splash-prone area. It also fits refit work where nearby exterior hardware is chrome plated and you want the cable exit to blend in with the rest of the installation.
