Eaton Specification Sheet - TMC3-050-0-SS
Stainless steel construction delivers corrosion resistance in damp, chemical, or dusty settings, meaning longer service life and reduced maintenance costs in demanding facilities. This directly translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer unplanned outages in critical control rooms and hazardous environments. The gland supports both armoured and non-armoured cables with a defined armor range of 0.452"–0.660" and a cable range of 0.55"–0.78", using a standard 1/2" NPT thread for straightforward panel and enclosure integration. This compatibility reduces part variety, simplifies inventory, and speeds up installation across multiple projects involving MC, MC-HL, TECK, TC, TC-ER-HL, ITC, ITC-ER, ITC-HL, PLTC, PLTC-ER, and ACIC cables. Engineers gain a reliable seal without rework when upgrading from older gland types. The IP66 rating and NEMA 4X protection provide robust ingress protection in washdown and outdoor environments, ensuring enclosure integrity even in harsh weather or chemical exposure. Certifications NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX underpin regulatory compliance for global deployments, while the stainless steel body resists corrosion in offshore oil & gas, chemical plants, and heavy manufacturing. Installation versatility is enhanced by the proven gland design and compatibility with Eaton’s IF 1890 instruction sheets, catalogs, and datasheets, enabling faster project handoffs and accurate bill of materials. In practice, end-users experience fewer commissioning delays and more predictable performance across diversified electrical systems, reinforcing a scalable, compliant approach to cable management in industrial settings.
