The two component cold-setting cast resin kit
GH-AB-01 must be ordered separately.
Requiring no hot work permit GHL employs
a two component cold-setting cast resin to
provide mechanical strength and a durable
moisture proof encapsulation.
The electrical connection is realized by means
of screw terminals, so no special tools are
required.

Factory termination and costly site preparation
are therefore things of the past.
GHL features:
The connection kit is mounted on the weather
barrier of the thermal insulation using the profiled IE-GH/T insulation entry (ordered separately) and projects through the cladding.
It can be used in applications with ambient temperature ratings from -40 °C to +80 °C.
