• Reduces installation times, cost & risk
• Direct & remote installation
• Unique compensating displacement seal system (CDS)
• Metal-to-metal installation every time regardless of cable diameter
• Designed to reduce the effects of Coldflow
• Integral protected deluge seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• -76°F to 266°F (standard), -4°F to 392°F (ThermEx option T3CDSHT)
• Class I Zone 1, 21 and Zone 2, 22 Class I Division 2 ABCD
• Globally marked, UL, cCSAus, IECEx & ATEX
• As standard in nickel plated brass with NPT thread form

† Grooved Cone (X) is predominantly used for Wire Braid (e.g. GSWB, TCWB), Steel Tape Armour (STA, DSTA) and Aluminium Strip Armour (ASA) but is also suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) if the range is outside that of the Stepped Cone (W).

Note: Grooved Cone (X) dimensions shown in the Cable Gland Selection Table below are for a double wire strand of braid armour cables. Tapes can also be doubled over. For cables that have only a single layer of armour such as SWA the clamping range should be used as shown in the table below.

Stepped (W) Cone is suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), or Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) cables.

Additional Information

BS 6121-1:1989 vs IEC 62444 / EN 62444

Whilst new standards such as IEC 62444 and EN 62444 have more recently been introduced, which CMP Products fully complies with, BS 6121-1:1989 still remains a very important benchmark for users and manufacturers around the world, due mainly to the fact that it is a more onerous construction standard than others published. This will therefore be especially relevant where a national cable gland standard isn’t available. The tables below show the maximum cable entry bore size and tolerances permitted through the range of BS 6121-1:1989 cable gland sizes.
