Ensuring a reliable, watertight seal for cables entering enclosures is crucial in demanding environments like industrial setups, marine applications, or areas prone to moisture and dust. The WPF-3 waterproof fitting from Newmar delivers top-tier protection with its robust compression design, achieving full IP68 ratings for complete submersion resistance. Ideal for cables ranging from 0.55" to 0.98" in diameter, this fitting pairs perfectly with PG-29 enclosure knockouts, providing a secure, hassle-free installation that stands up to vibration, corrosion, and extreme conditions.
The WPF lineup offers scalable options for various cable sizes and enclosure types. Here's a breakdown:
| Model | Cable Diameter Range | Mounting Hole Diameter | EX Enclosure Knock-Out Size Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|
| WPF-1 | 0.20" - 0.47" | 0.91" (22.5 mm) | PG-16 |
| WPF-2 | 0.35" - 0.71" | 1.14" (29.0 mm) | PG-21 |
| WPF-3 | 0.55" - 0.98" | 1.48" (37.5 mm) | PG-29 |
Engineers and technicians rely on these fittings in scenarios where environmental hazards threaten electrical integrity:
By preventing moisture migration, WPF-3 extends equipment lifespan and reduces costly failures, making it a smart upgrade over basic bushings or grommets.
Pro Tip: Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant to threads for smoother installation and enhanced sealing.
Unlike generic pass-throughs that compromise on seal quality, WPF-3 combines ease-of-use with industrial-grade performance. It eliminates the need for potting compounds or adhesives, saving time and mess. Users report fewer leaks and callbacks compared to multi-piece alternatives, thanks to its one-piece compression mechanism. For projects demanding NEMA 6P or equivalent submersion protection, this fitting checks every box without breaking the bank on premium alternatives.
The WPF-3 achieves a full IP68 rating, suitable for continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter.
It accommodates cables from 0.55 inches to 0.98 inches in outer diameter, ideal for mid-to-large power or data lines.
Yes, it references PG-29 knockouts, commonly used in EX-rated enclosures for hazardous environments.
Drill a 1.48-inch hole, thread cable through, assemble nut-body-hub, tighten securely, and test for leaks.
Absolutely—its rugged materials resist chemicals, salt spray, and UV, perfect for marine or industrial use.
WPF-3 handles larger cables (0.55-0.98") with a 1.48" hole for PG-29, while WPF-2 is for 0.35-0.71" cables and PG-21.
No, standard wrenches suffice; no adhesives or complex tooling needed.
Waterproof Fittings
For complete waterproof assembly (IP68) use these compression fittings. Retaining nut secures fitting to enclosers, compression hub creates waterproof seal around wires. Various sizes are available in a wide range of cable diameters.
| Model | Cable Diameter Range | Mounting Hole Diameter |
EX Enclosure Knock-Out Size Ref. |
| WPF-1 | .2?-.47? | .91" (22.5 mm) | PG-16 |
| WPF-2 | .35?-.71? | 1.14" (29.0 mm) | PG-21 |
| WPF-3 | .55?-.98? | 1.48" (37.5 mm) | PG-29 |
