Equipment entry
Specify the actual thread standard, size, pitch and engagement requirements. For conduit models, include the separate conduit-end thread.
Required Ex documentation
Provide the project's required Ex marking and approval scope. Request the selected model's certificate and installation instructions; approval statements are not interchangeable across the range.

buying questions.
Does an Ex product name establish installation approval?
No. Obtain the certificate, complete protection marking, covered model range and installation conditions. Match them to the project’s hazardous-area classification with qualified review.
Can an Ex gland be selected by thread and cable diameter alone?
No. Cable construction, protection concept, sealing arrangement, service conditions and certificate limitations also matter. Dimensions are only part of selection.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Send your cable-entry schedule for an Ex cable gland quotation matched to the selected model. Include the exact model quantities, delivery destination and required documentation.
Can you review custom labels and packaging?
Send your part numbers, label artwork, pack quantities and shipment requirements. Feasibility, sample requirements, minimum quantities and lead time are confirmed for the requested models.
