In industries where explosive gases, dust, and chemicals pose constant risks, every electrical connection must be built for absolute safety. Ex Industries stands at the forefront of innovation, manufacturing premium adapters and reducers that form the backbone of safe and reliable electrical systems in hazardous areas.
Our thread adapters, reducer adapters, and explosion proof enclosures are designed to meet strict global standards, ensuring that every connection — no matter the size or thread type — performs flawlessly under the most challenging conditions.
The Role of Adapters & Reducers in Explosion-Proof Systems
In a hazardous location, compatibility and sealing integrity are crucial. Adapters and reducers ensure smooth transitions between conduits, cable glands, and enclosures of different sizes or thread forms. Whether you’re connecting a metric to NPT thread adapter or adjusting from a larger to smaller conduit using a thread reducer, these small components have a massive safety responsibility.
At Ex Industries, our explosion proof electrical equipment is engineered to deliver long-term performance. Our explosion proof adapters and reducers maintain the integrity of the enclosure’s flame path, preventing ignition sources from escaping into hazardous environments.
Why Choose Ex Industries Adapters and Reducers
Our explosion proof adapters and reducers are not generic components — they’re precision-engineered, certified, and manufactured with uncompromising quality. Here’s what sets Ex Industries apart:
1. Certified for Global Compliance
Each product complies with ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards. Whether your project requires Class 1 Div 1 enclosure, Class 1 Div 2 enclosures, or Ex d enclosure types, our components ensure full compliance.
We also adhere to standards like ATEX 137, EN 50288-7, and other hazardous area regulations to ensure your system meets every safety benchmark.
2. Unmatched Material Quality
Our stainless steel explosion proof enclosures and fittings offer maximum corrosion resistance in offshore, marine, and chemical environments. Additionally, we supply brass, nickel-plated, and aluminum adapters and reducers for customized project needs.
3. Perfect Thread Precision
Whether it’s NPT, BSP, Metric, or PG threads, every thread adapter and reducer adapter is precision-machined for a tight fit and leak-free seal. This ensures your hazardous area cable glands, Ex proof cable glands, and electrical conduit drains function flawlessly without compromise.
4. Complete Hazardous Area Integration
Our adapters and reducers are fully compatible with hawke cable glands, bebco purge systems, intrinsic safety barriers, and Ex proof junction boxes — providing a unified, explosion-proof solution for complex installations.
Explosion-Proof Adapters & Reducers Product Range
Ex Industries manufactures a wide range of adapters and reducers tailored for industrial and hazardous settings.
Our main product types include:
- Thread Adapters: Used for converting between thread types such as NPT to Metric, BSP to NPT, or custom configurations.
- Reducers: Used for changing connection sizes while maintaining explosion-proof integrity.
- Thread Reducers: Ideal for applications where conduit or gland diameters differ.
- Reducer Adapters: Combine the functionality of both adapters and reducers for maximum flexibility.
- Stainless Steel Reducers: Designed for heavy-duty use in corrosive or marine environments.
These components ensure proper fitting between explosion proof enclosures, intrinsically safe barriers, Ex proof box, and hazardous area enclosures, protecting both equipment and personnel from explosion risks.
Applications Across Industries
Our explosion proof electrical enclosures and fittings are trusted across a broad spectrum of industries:
- Oil & Gas Refineries: Connecting equipment in flammable gas zones and Ex zones.
- Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Safely integrating isolation barriers and intrinsic safety barriers into system designs.
- Mining Operations: Providing reliable Ex lighting and Ex proof junction box fittings.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Ensuring contamination-free and spark-safe installations.
- Marine and Offshore Platforms: Using stainless steel explosion proof enclosures for durability in saltwater and harsh weather conditions.
In each of these sectors, the quality of Ex proof adapters and reducers determines whether systems remain operational, compliant, and safe.
Built for Hazardous Area Certification
When you choose Ex Industries, you’re investing in products designed to withstand the toughest Ex rated environments. Our explosion proof cable glands, Ex proof cable gland fittings, and hazardous area cable glands are crafted with exacting standards that align with Class 1 Division 1 enclosure and Class 1 Division 2 junction box classifications.
We understand that in high-risk facilities, even a minor fitting failure can lead to catastrophic consequences. That’s why every reducer adapter and thread reducer undergoes rigorous testing to ensure flameproof performance and lasting protection.
Integrated Solutions for Hazardous Locations
Beyond adapters and reducers, Ex Industries provides complete hazardous area solutions — from purge systems, intrinsic safety barriers, and Ex proof lighting, to Ex e enclosures and cabinet explosion proof systems.
Our purge and pressurization systems, including Z purge and Bebco purge unit configurations, deliver reliable protection for enclosed electrical equipment. When integrated with Ex proof cable glands and explosion proof cables, these systems provide end-to-end safety and performance for any hazardous location.
We also provide intrinsically safe barriers, zener barriers, and is barriers for signal isolation and overvoltage protection, ensuring control circuits operate safely in Ex d or Ex e environments.
Commitment to Innovation and Quality
Founded and led by John Butts, Ex Industries LLC continues to push boundaries in explosion proof manufacturing. From hawke electrical inc compatible components to proprietary Ex proof enclosures, our goal is to exceed international standards and deliver Ex solutions that customers trust.
Every fitting, from threaded reducers to intrinsically safe barriers, is backed by advanced testing and certification — ensuring performance and safety under pressure.
How Adapters and Reducers Work with Cable Glands
Adapters and reducers often work in tandem with explosion proof cable glands and hazardous area cables. For example:
- An ATEX cable gland may require a thread adapter to fit into an existing ATEX certified enclosure.
- A reducer may be needed to downsize a Class 1 Div 2 cable gland to match conduit dimensions.
By using Ex Industries fittings, you ensure compatibility across systems while maintaining Ex rating compliance. Whether your setup includes armored cable glands, CIC cable, or Exane wire, our products maintain system integrity and protection.
