PX2KXREX | Ex eb, Ex db, Ex nR, Ex ta | Explosive Atmosphere Barrier Cable Gland For all types of Braid & Tape Armoured Cables

Globally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere RapidEx 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
• -60°C to +85°C
• Globally marked, IECEx, ATEX & cCSAus
• 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
