are there any specs on the gland used on the AP17 like the threads?  I'd like to hard pipe to the AP instead of having the CAT6 exposed, more for esthetics than security.  They are kind of goofy looking to begin with  and the with the black gland on a white AP with some other color wire coming out, yes I could have spec'd white CAT but I didn't pull these wires or have a chance but still the black gland stands out anyway!  Is there an adapter to standard PVC thread or a whip made for these things?  If I at least knew the thread, it's finer than electrical PVC I could always search the web for some sort of adapter.  After 5 months I finally got some in and tried a PVC TA (connector) and it doesn't work so I at least need the specs so I can see if there's any adapters out there.

If I had to hazzard a guess I'd say they use the same size gland for all the products.

The 228 & 560 uses a M20 thread by the looks of things.

Take an AP to the nearest hardware store and try and find an M20 bolt.

I'd use flexible Kopex rather than a pipe.

Hey @VAV,

Can confirm the AP17 has an M20 gland. (It's printed on the gland itself)
I tried to thread in a 1/2" PVC to NPT connector, but the threads are too coarse and they won't mate. So you would need an M20 > 1/2" NPT adapter.
Bit of a pain in the butt, as M20>1/2" adapters aren't all that common. ​The only decent ones I could find are here:

Good find! Seventy-six cents is more reasonable than the others I found. Please do let me know if it works as we just landed a project and may need to use a flex whip to the AP in a refrigerated environment.

for reference in case anyone else wants one this is what I found.  It looks like it should work but I won't know until they arrive.  Not scheduled to ship until the 21st.

Tested it with this carflex 90 union connector which I've never seen or used but apparently had on by shelves.

Think I'm more likely to use a pvc TA and glue it to the pull 90 so I can remove the access and likely disconnect the RJ45 if I need.  Otherwise you jave to worry about threading on most other options which will likely result with twisting of the wire too.
