When it comes to electrical safety in hazardous and explosive atmospheres, every connection counts. Ex Industries leads the way in developing premium-quality hazardous location cable glands engineered for the world’s toughest environments. Our solutions combine durability, compliance, and precision to ensure that your equipment remains protected and fully operational — no matter how harsh the conditions.
Designed for use in Class 1 Div 1 enclosures, Class 1 Div 2 enclosures, and Ex zones, our explosion proof cable glands safeguard critical connections against gas, dust, and moisture ingress, maintaining the integrity of your hazardous area enclosures.
What Are Hazardous Location Cable Glands?
Cable glands serve as the crucial link between electrical cables and explosion proof enclosures or junction boxes. In hazardous environments — such as oil refineries, offshore rigs, and chemical plants — these glands must perform double duty: securing the cable mechanically while sealing the system to prevent any ignition sources from escaping.
Hazardous location cable glands from Ex Industries are built to perform exactly that role. They are certified to ATEX, IECEx, and UL standards, designed for use in explosion proof electrical enclosures, Ex d enclosures, and Ex e enclosures across multiple industries.
Each gland is precision-engineered to ensure reliable performance with both armored and unarmored cables, including cic cable, exane cable, and intrinsically safe cable applications.
Ex Industries: Engineering Excellence in Explosion-Proof Design
At Ex Industries, safety starts with precision. Our explosion proof cable glands are developed to integrate seamlessly with hazardous location enclosures, intrinsic safety barriers, and ex proof boxes electrical — offering total system compatibility.
Whether you’re working with thread adapters, reducers, or ex proof junction boxes, our glands maintain an unbroken protective barrier that isolates electrical sparks from volatile gases, dust, or vapors.
We also offer specialized solutions for Ex lighting, ex proof cable gland assemblies, and purge and pressurization systems to ensure compliance with the strictest Ex rating standards.
