Reliable local stock of electrical fittings for projects and procurement
When your project schedule depends on parts arriving on time, choosing a supplier with nationwide inventory and clear lead-time information matters. Communica stocks common electrical fittings used by makers, educational labs, maintenance teams and procurement departments across South Africa - conduit fittings, cable glands, terminal blocks, busbars, gland plates and more - so you can complete installations without long import delays. For an overview of our ranges and branches, see our About Us and Branches & Trading Hours pages.
Why local stock matters
Local availability reduces downtime and administrative friction. Collect from our Samrand head office/warehouse or branch pickup in Pretoria and Cape Town the same day for many commonly used items. Orders for education or institutional purchases can include VAT invoices and account quotations for procurement teams.

Quick spec comparison table
Use this quick table to match common fittings to application requirements.
| Product | Typical Material | Key spec | Common use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cable gland (M20) | Brass / Nylon | Thread M20, 4-10 mm cable OD | Panel entry for control cables |

Compatibility guidance and accessory bundles
Match thread form and conduit size first. Bundles that save time: conduit run kits (straight lengths + elbows + couplers), gland starter kits (common thread sizes + sealing washers), and terminal block packs (DIN-rail + end stops + jumper links). These assemblies reduce repeated ordering and simplify stock management for labs and workshops. See full product index at our All Products page.
