Application
Outdoor or Indoor use.
For use with single wire armoured ‘W’, wire braided ‘X’ and steel tape armoured ‘Z’ elastomer and plastic insulated cables.
For particular use with:-
a) Cables that are not effectively filled, compact and/or circular, have tape bedding or have hygroscopic fillers.
b) Cables that exhibit ‘cold flow’ characteristics.
c) Enclosures containing an ignition source in gas group IIC areas or containing an ignition source in a Zone 1 area and exceeding 2 litres in volume.
Features
Provides a barrier seal between the individual insulated cores within the cable and prevents entry of the products of an explosion into the cable.
Assembly of the Cable Gland compresses and distributes the compound evenly to create a barrier seal at the point of entry into the enclosure.
The compound chamber may be separated from the cured compound to ensure that the chamber has been effectively filled. If required, external voids can be repaired.
Provides armour clamping, using one clamping arrangement for all armour/braid types.
Provides an outer deluge seal to prevent moisture ingress to the cable armour/braid.
Provides a cable retention and low smoke and fume, zero halogen seal onto the cables outer sheath.
Two part sealing compound and assembly instructions are supplied with the Cable Gland.
