Eaton Crouse-Hinds TMCX165 BR Cable Gland - Explosion-Proof
Part Number: TMCX165 BR
Quick Summary
TMCX165 BR cable gland provides rugged sealing for metal-clad cables in hazardous locations. Engineers face downtime when fittings leak, seize, or fail under vibration; this gland delivers reliable barrier sealing and straightforward field installation. It meets NEC/CEC requirements with Class I, Division 1 ratings and a NEMA 4 enclosure protection, supporting safe operation in classified environments. Brass construction with 1/2 in NPT threads and TECK armoured compatibility enables armoured barrier and non-armoured barrier configurations for versatile, code-compliant terminations. By aligning outer sheath and armour ranges, it reduces inventory complexity and accelerates compliant cable terminations across industrial plants in oil, gas, and chemical processing.

Explosion-proof protection is built into the TMCX165 BR, delivering a rugged seal for metal-clad and TECK armoured cables. This translates to reduced ignition risk, improved safety, and fewer field reworkings, especially in chemical processing and petrochemical facilities where strict standards apply. The brass body with 1/2 in NPT threads enables quick, reliable terminations, while supporting both barrier and non-barrier configurations to match project specs and regulatory demands. TECK armoured compatibility and precise armour and outer sheath ranges (0.44-0.65 in and 0.49-0.78 in) simplify stocking and installation, cutting lead times and minimizing misfits across diverse cable constructions. The gland’s NEC/CEC compliance, Class I Division 1 rating, and NEMA 4 protection provide robust regulatory alignment and long-term reliability. Documentation availability, including catalogs and installation sheets, reduces field time and potential errors. Durable brass construction and sealed integrity drive lower maintenance costs and extend service life in demanding environments.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, ensure a proper 1/2 in NPT threaded interface and matching gland seal. Use either armoured barrier or non-armoured barrier configurations as required by your TECK-armoured tray cable, and confirm outer sheath and armour dimensions (0.49-0.78 in and 0.44-0.65 in) to ensure a snug, compliant fit.
Yes. The gland complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries Class I, Division 1 ratings, along with a NEMA 4 enclosure rating. This combo supports safe operation in hazardous or classified locations and aligns with common industrial procurement and installation requirements.
The gland is designed for metal-clad cables with interlocked or continuously welded corrugated armour, including TECK armoured tray cables. It supports armoured barrier and non-armoured barrier versions and matches armour and outer sheath ranges for reliable terminations in tough environments.
Available resources include the Crouse-Hinds TMCX catalog page, UL certification references for explosion-proof assemblies, installation sheet IF 1184, and the Eaton specification sheet. These documents aid in proper selection, compliance checks, and step-by-step installation guidance.
Key benefits include improved safety through explosion-proof sealing, reduced downtime from reliable field terminations, and regulatory compliance across NEC/CEC and NEMA standards.
