Eaton Specification Sheet - TMCX050 1
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Explosion-proof design provides reliable enclosure protection in hazardous environments, reducing the risk of ignition and equipment downtime in oil, gas, and chemical plants. This translates to safer operations and lower incident costs, particularly where ignition sources must be strictly controlled. The device's 1/2" NPT thread and aluminum construction enable straightforward fabrication of compact, lightweight gland assemblies that resist corrosion while meeting demanding service conditions. Application-wise, fit the TMCX050 1 to armored barrier and tray cable systems, including TECK armoured configurations, to streamline installation and minimize tool requirements on site. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cable sealing range of 0.49–0.90" and sealing capacity 1 (S) ensure precise, repeatable ingress protection across a range of cable sizes, reducing rework and warranty issues, especially in environments with vibration or temperature cycling. Use in Class I Division 1 and related hazardous locations to maintain enclosure integrity and regulatory compliance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: TSC compound barrier and aluminum gland body deliver durable, thermally stable performance, lowering maintenance needs and extending service life in harsh conditions common to chemical processing and mining operations. Application focuses on armored barrier, tray cable, metal-clad with interlocked or welded corrugated armoured systems to support long-term reliability and consistent protection across a facility. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Armoured and barrier gland compatibility with TECK and other armoured cables reduces vendor fragmentation and inventory duplication, enabling streamlined procurement, faster on-site commissioning, and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installers should select the 1/2 inch NPT port sized gland, tighten to manufacturer torque specifications, and ensure the cable size remains within the 0.49–0.90 inch range. Use proper sealing and bonding practices for armoured cables, and verify compatibility with armored barrier or tray cable configurations to maintain explosion-protection integrity.
Key specs include a 1/2 inch NPT thread, aluminum body, armoured Gland Type, barrier material TSC Compound, cable range 0.49–0.90 inches, cable sealing range 1 (S), length 4.05 inches, width and height 1.75 inches, and weight 0.65 lb. It is explosion-proof and suitable for hazardous locations per NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. The TMCX050 1 supports armoured barrier, tray cable, and metal-clad configurations with interlocked or continuously welded corrugated armour, including TECK armoured, making it suitable for a wide range of hazardous location installations without multiple gland types.
The gland is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance, Class I, Division 1; Class II, Division 1; Class III ratings, and a NEMA 6P 4X protection rating. UL certification for explosion-proof assemblies is documented, ensuring regulatory readiness for critical industrial environments.
Using the TMCX050 1 improves safety through robust explosion-proof sealing, reduces maintenance cycles with durable aluminum construction, and streamlines compliance with NEC/CEC and UL standards. The simplified installation and broader compatibility with armoured cables can lower total cost of ownership by reducing downtime and inventory fragmentation.
