When it comes to electrical safety in hazardous or explosive atmospheres, every connection must be engineered for perfection. Ex Industries stands at the forefront of hazardous location cable gland innovation — designing and manufacturing solutions that combine precision engineering, durability, and certified protection for the world’s toughest operating conditions.
Our explosion-proof cable glands are designed for Class 1 Div 1, Class 1 Div 2, and Ex-rated zones, providing complete defense against gas, dust, and moisture ingress. Built to exceed ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards, these glands ensure uninterrupted system safety and reliability, even in extreme industrial environments.
⚙️ What Are Hazardous Location Cable Glands?
Cable glands are the critical interface between electrical cables and explosion-proof enclosures or junction boxes. In environments such as oil refineries, chemical plants, or offshore rigs, they perform two vital functions:
- Mechanical security – anchoring and protecting cable terminations
- Explosion containment – preventing sparks or flames from escaping the enclosure
Ex Industries’ glands deliver unmatched reliability for both armored and unarmored cables, including CIC, Exane, and intrinsically safe cable systems.
🧠 Ex Industries: Precision-Crafted Explosion-Proof Design
At Ex Industries, precision drives safety. Our cable glands integrate seamlessly with hazardous location enclosures, intrinsic safety barriers, and Ex-proof junction boxes, forming a continuous safety barrier against electrical ignition.
We also provide complete Ex-proof assemblies — including Ex lighting, purge and pressurization systems, and thread adapters — ensuring system-wide compliance with global explosion protection standards.
