OSCG E1WF and E1XF cable glands for hazardous areas

Cable specialist KabEx Australia has released two OSCG (E1WF and E1XF) ranges of IECEx cable glands for use with steel wire armour 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 and can be used for all types of armoured cables. Using compression seals made from silicone means that re-terminating of cables will not compromise the seal, and the glands can be re-used.

Complying to a range of international regulations, the E1WF and E1XF cable glands (E1WF is for steel wire armoured cables and E1XF is 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.

A full range of thread sizes is available up to M100 or 4″ NPT. Metric threads are supplied complete with locknut and sealing washer. The glands are available in nickel-plated brass or stainless steel.
