Eaton TMCX3112 BR Cable Gland - Explosion-Proof

Brass construction provides robust corrosion resistance for tough industrial environments, reducing replacement costs and downtime. This durability is particularly valuable in chemical plants, refineries, offshore platforms, and mining sites where moisture, salt spray, and aggressive substances challenge seal performance and cable integrity. By selecting a gland designed for explosion-proof service, maintenance teams benefit from longer service intervals, fewer leak-related failures, and improved overall asset reliability, translating to lower total cost of ownership across the lifecycle of installations. With a 1 inch NPT thread, installation is straightforward alongside common conduit systems, minimizing field assembly time and risk of leaks. It is engineered for TECK armoured tray cables and metal-clad with interlocked or welded armour, ensuring a secure seal even in vibratory, high-temperature, and demanding heavy-industrial environments. The standardized thread also simplifies spares management, allowing technicians to reuse compatible fittings across multiple projects. Armoured Barrier and Non-armoured Barrier options provide flexible configurations without changing fittings, speeding retrofits and new installations. This versatility reduces procurement complexity and helps projects adapt to evolving cable assemblies while maintaining the same enclosure protection level and regulatory compliance. For installers, this translates into fewer part substitutions, shorter lead times, and a more predictable commissioning sequence. Armor range 0.80–1.12 in and outer sheath 0.85–1.31 in provide a precise fit for TECK armoured trays, preventing looseness that can compromise protection. Combined with a brass body and 1" NPT threading, this gland delivers reliable ingress protection (NEMA 4) and durability in harsh environments. Long-term performance is supported by UL explosion-proof listing and NEC/CEC conformity, reducing risk in critical safety applications. UL certification and NEC/CEC compliance streamline regulatory approvals, while the gland’s rugged construction supports continuous operation in Class I, Division 1, Class II, Division 1, and Class III environments across chemical processing, oil & gas, mining, and power generation sectors. Catalog availability and compatibility with Eaton's installation sheets streamline procurement, training, and on-site installation, reducing project delays and warranty issues. In practice, these factors translate to faster time to productive operation and measurable ROI on new and retrofit projects.
