Globally Approved, Hazardous (Classified) Location Barrier Cable Gland
• RapidEx liquid pour sealing system
– Enhances reliability, reduces risk
– Reduces man hours
– Reduces cost
• Metal-to-metal armour clamping
• Direct & remote installation
• Integral protected deluge seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• -76°F to 185°F / -60°C to +85°C
• Globally marked, cCSAus, IECEx & ATEX
• EMC tested
• As standard in nickel plated brass with NPT thread form
• Once any cable inner sheath/bedding has been removed, the RapidEx liquid resin barrier seals directly around the internal cable cores, completely eliminating any risk of coldflow on all cable types

Principles of Protection
In order to provide an operation that can function in the safest possible manner, the protection of workers, the environment, and the plant itself relies upon three key ingredients in the development and planning stage of a new plant project.
Read moreClassification of Hazardous Areas (Explosive Atmospheres) According to IEC 60079-10
Explosive atmosphere classification is a structured means of assessing risks and instigating appropriate preventative measures to prevent ignition of flammable mixtures. Codes of practice have been established for the classification of potential hazards and similar codes deal with the selection, installation and maintenance of suitable equipment to protect against these hazards.
