OSCG E1WF and E1XF ranges of IECEx cable glands

Kabex Australia has released two OSCG (E1WF and E1XF) ranges of IECEx cable glands for use with steel wire armour and/or braided screened cables in hazardous areas including petrochemical, oil and gas, chemical, fertiliser, shipbuilding, paint and solvent, sugar, LNG, power and mining industries along with anywhere else where flammable atmosphere may exist.

The E1WF and E1XF glands have double compression for the outer/inner jacket of cable. Compression seals are made from silicone instead of PVC, as is the standard, and can also be used for all types of armoured cables.

Complying to a range of international regulations, the cable glands (E1WF for steel wire armoured cables and E1XF for braided screen cables) are IECEx certified for use in hazardous industrial areas within Australia as they are also triple certified Exd IIC, Exe II, ExtD A21 for Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.

Features of both the cables include: full range of thread sizes available up to M100 or 4″ NPT; metric threads supplied complete with locknut and sealing washer; and available in nickel-plated brass or stainless steel.
