Eaton Crouse-Hinds TMCX050 1 L Cable Gland - Explosion-proof

Explosion-proof protection is built into the gland, delivering a strong safety boundary that reduces ignition risk in hazardous environments and supports regulatory compliance for oil, gas, chemical, and mining applications. This translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned shutdowns, and a faster project turnaround when upgrading legacy equipment in classified locations. Ideal when used with TECK armoured or metal-clad tray cables, it provides a reliable barrier that eases audits and improves overall plant safety and throughput. The 1/2" NPT thread size ensures straightforward integration with standard conduit entries and equipment ports, simplifying field installs and reducing installation time for technicians working in confined spaces. Compatibility with common mounting configurations supports faster retrofit and inventory standardization across sites. Cable sealing range of 0.49–0.90 inches and seal rating 1 (S) accommodate a broad spectrum of cable diameters, enabling one gland to cover multiple cable builds. This capability minimizes SKU proliferation and supports lean maintenance programs in mixed-cabling environments. Aluminum construction reduces weight without sacrificing durability, easing handling during installation and reducing mounting hardware requirements. Corrosion resistance is advantageous for damp or chemically aggressive environments, extending service life and lowering replacement cycles. Barrier type Liquid Compound enhances sealing performance under temperature fluctuations and potential immersion scenarios, delivering consistent protection for cables entering control panels and equipment enclosures. This translates to improved reliability in offshore platforms, refineries, and processing plants. Certifications and compliance features—Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification, NEC/CEC standards, and NEMA 6P 4X rating—provide confidence during audits and facilitate regulatory acceptance across global sites. Installation and technical data are supported by Eaton’s documentation, reducing ambiguity for commissioning teams and service contractors.
