Eaton Specification Sheet - TMCX165 BR NP
Explosion-proof protection is embedded in the TMCX165 BR NP cable gland. This feature reduces ignition risk and helps maintain regulatory compliance in hazardous locations. Applications include chemical processing, oil and gas, and mining where safety margins matter. Cable type compatibility TECK armoured and tray cable enables one gland to cover multiple installations. Armoured Barrier and Non-armoured Barrier gland options streamline procurement and field configurations, cutting inventory costs and installation complexity. In the field, technicians appreciate the straightforward 1/2 in NPT connection for rapid sealing and termination. Material and size: Nickel-plated brass, 1/2" NPT thread. Durable metal construction resists corrosion and supports reliable long-term sealing in aggressive environments, reducing maintenance intervals and ensuring consistent performance across temperature and chemical exposure. Dimensional compatibility: Outer sheath 0.49-0.78" and Armor 0.44-0.65" accommodate TECK armoured and bare conductors, simplifying spec matching and minimizing rework when cable schedules evolve. Standards and documentation: NEC/CEC compliance, Class I, Division 1 ratings, Class II/III, and NEMA 4. UL certification adds a trusted third-party endorsement for critical projects. Production instructions IF 1184 and Eaton catalog pages support installation planning. Installation efficiency and field service: 1/2" NPT threads speed terminations, while compatibility with Crouse-Hinds accessories helps future upgrades, enabling engineers to consolidate components, reduce stranded inventory, and shorten project timelines.
