Eaton Crouse-Hinds TMCX050 1 SS Cable gland - Explosion-proof
Part Number: TMCX050 1 SS
Quick Summary
Explosion-proof cable gland protects electrical connections in hazardous-location equipment installations. Engineers often wrestle with sealing integrity under vibration, thermal cycling, and corrosive environments, risking unplanned downtime. This Terminator II fitting carries NEC/CEC hazardous location approvals, Class I, Division 1 ratings, plus a NEMA 4X 6P enclosure rating for rugged service. Designed for tray cables and metal-clad armor, it helps streamline audits and compliance while reducing maintenance overhead. In stainless steel, it resists corrosion in challenging facilities, supporting long life in offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, and power generation applications.

FAQs
For safe installation in hazardous locations, verify the mounting surface is clean and aligned, use approved 1/2" NPT fittings, and ensure the gland is tightened to the specified torque to maintain the seal. The device supports TECK armoured and metal-clad trays, and the sealing range accommodates common cable diameters (0.49–0.90 inches) to prevent ingress while preserving flexibility for field adjustments.
The 0.49–0.90 inch range matches typical tray cables, and the 1 (S) sealing designation provides a robust seal against dust and moisture ingress, maintaining IP/barrier integrity in demanding environments. This combination supports reliable operation under vibration and temperature fluctuations common in chemical, petrochemical, and power facilities.
Yes. The gland is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC approvals, including Class I, Division 1, and is rated explosion-proof. This makes it appropriate for chemical processing environments where ignition protection, sealing integrity, and durable materials are required for continuous operation.
The gland carries NEC/CEC hazardous location certification with Class I, Division 1 ratings and a NEMA 4X 6P enclosure rating, signifying suitability for harsh environments. UL-related certifications are available via the provided literature, and the product is compatible with both armoured TECK and non-armoured configurations for global deployment.
Stainless steel construction offers superior corrosion resistance, reducing material degradation in challenging environments such as offshore or chemical plants. This translates to lower maintenance frequency, fewer replacements, and a lower total cost of ownership, especially when combined with a robust 1/2" NPT seal and compatible armour configurations.
