Eaton Crouse-Hinds TMCX7247 BR Cable Gland Explosion Proof
Part Number: TMCX7247 BR
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds TMCX7247 BR cable gland is designed to seal and protect TECK armoured and metal-clad tray cables in hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle to find a gland that combines rugged protection with straightforward installation and ongoing regulatory compliance in demanding environments. This model aligns with NEC/CEC requirements and offers UL certification alongside a NEMA 4 rating, supporting both armoured barrier and non-armoured barrier configurations. Rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations, it withstands oil, dust, and moisture ingress while remaining compatible with standard fittings. With brass construction and a 2-1/2 in NPT thread, it delivers long-term reliability and simplifies sourcing across mixed cable families, reducing spare-part complexity and total project cost.

Brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in chemical, wet, and dusty environments, delivering long service life and reducing maintenance cycles. This translates into lower total cost of ownership on brownfield installations and easier compliance with internal standards for mechanical protection. It is well-suited for TECK armoured and metal-clad tray cables, making it ideal for process plants and power utilities where cable entries face temperature fluctuations and exposure to contaminants. Armoured Barrier and Non-armoured Barrier options simplify project scoping and inventory, enabling a single gland to cover multiple cable-entry configurations and regulatory requirements. The 2-1/2 in NPT thread ensures reliable, standard-compatible connections with minimal adapters, accelerating installation and reducing risk of leaks or misalignment. The gland supports area classifications for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 4 rating, aligning with industry standards for demanding environments. At 7.5 in long, 4 in high, 4 in wide, and 11.65 lb, it provides a robust yet manageable footprint for installation in cramped enclosures and along equipment racks.

FAQs
For proper installation, ensure the 2-1/2 in NPT thread matches the mating enclosure or conduit body. Use the armoured barrier or non-armoured barrier configuration as required by your seismic, fire, or regulatory demands. Refer to IF 1184 for termination guidance and to the Crouse-Hinds catalog page for matching gland accessories and installation sheets. Plan for the outer sheath and armour measurements (1.99-2.72 in and 1.93-2.47 in respectively) to ensure a proper seal and compliant ingress protection.
Yes. The product specification lists NEC/CEC compliance with NEC hazardous ratings including Class I, Division 1 (as well as Class II, Division 1 and Class III). This, combined with its explosion-proof protection type and NEMA 4 rating, supports installation in hazardous locations typically encountered in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations.
Absolutely. The TMCX7247 BR is specified for tray cable TECK armoured and metal-clad with interlocked or continuously welded armour. This makes it suitable for high-reliability cable entries in harsh environments, reducing the need for multiple gland types and simplifying project procurement in mixed-cable installations.
The gland carries NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations, a NEMA 4 rating for weather and wash-down resistance, and UL certification as evidenced by vendor documentation. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations, aligning with industry standards for safety, performance, and regulatory adherence in demanding facilities.
The gland measures 7.5 inches in length, 4 inches in height, and 4 inches in width, with a product weight of 11.65 pounds. It uses a 2-1/2 inch NPT thread and is supplied under catalog number TMCX7247 BR, UPC 782274065731, aiding straightforward inventory planning and RFQ responses.
