PX2KPB | Ex eb, Ex db, Ex nR, Ex ta | Explosive Atmosphere Barrier Cable Gland For all types of Lead Sheathed Armoured cables
We'd like to keep in touch
We have some exciting things in the pipeline - if you'd like to be the first to know please enter your email address below.
Internationally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere Barrier Cable Gland
• Effectively earths / grounds lead sheathed cables
• Metal-to-metal armour clamping
• Direct & remote installation
• Compound barrier type flameproof seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• Integral protected deluge seal
• -60°C to +85°C
• Internationally marked, IECEx & ATEX
• EMC tested
• 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

Additional Information
Combating Galvanic Corrosion at CMP
The type and thickness of nickel coatings applied to brass cable glands varies significantly around the world, and many of the solutions adopted are inherently porous, meaning that they are unable to provide complete protection against chemical attack, corrosion, or material break-down. There are typically two types of nickel plating in common use, these being electro nickel plating and electro-less nickel plating.
