Notes:
* Gland size does not necessarily equate to the entry thread size.
* Dimensions (A) & (B) may differ for glands with non metric entry threads. Please refer to our “Thread Reference Tables” for specific dimensions.
* Where glands are fitted into non-metallic Ex e enclosures they must be included within the earth circuit of the system.
* The user should seek expert advice if intending to combine flammable and combustible dust in one environment/installation.
* Assembly instructions must be read prior to installation and adhered to in full.
* Peppers supplies cable glands with parallel entry threads that conform to the flameproof threaded joint requirements of IEC/EN 60079-1 and other equivalent standards. They usually incorporate a thread run out according to the available machining techniques and will not have a full form thread for the entire length. Peppers will not be held responsible for clients’ installations where this has not been taken into account.
* To maintain the specified IP rating, clearance holes must be in accordance with EN 50262 Table 1 and the entry device should be suitably secured.
