Cable glands satisfy ATEX requirements
ATEX approved cable glands to complement Kopex conduit systems feature an outer seal and cable grip for use with non-armoured cable and can be easily disassembled for inspection.
Manufactured from Polyamide 6, which is self-extinguishing and flame retardant, the cable glands use a halogen free Santoprene seal and each one is clearly marked with the size, approval number and mark.
Designed for use with non-armoured cables, these cable glands combine an outer seal and cable grip.
They can be used for direct fixing into the threaded entry of an enclosure or into a standard knockout, when used with a suitable locknut.
Depending on size, the cable glands are supplied in suitable pack sizes and come complete with full installation instructions.
They are available in six metric size options including: M16, M20, M25, M32, M40 and M50.
They are SIRA approved, to ATEX 1072X, for use in hazardous areas.
They have an IP66 ingress protection rating as standard, which can be increased to IP68 by using a special washer.
Unused entries on an enclosure should be blocked using a certified 'stopping plug', such as the 'e' Polyamide 6.6, glass filled plug, with rubber seal, for use in hazardous area applications also available through Kopex International.
