1. I need help identifying the model of the cable sealing joint in the image above. 2. Do sealed joints for armored cables and unarmored cables require different models?
Is it outside 1/2NPT? Let’s look up the ordering information for the transmitter. .
The same applies when using regular metal thread inserts
Metal explosion-proof gland. Two parameters are sufficient: the installation thread specification and the cable outer diameter. If there are requirements regarding the structure or appearance, you can search for images online and buy something that matches them. As for the wide variety of models, it’s hard to say.
The one shown in the picture is likely a double-sealed stainless steel gland; here’s some information on its model for your reference: BDM-12M20X1.5g Exd II CGb Exe II CGb IP66 CE18.1218X 18G725
The sealing joints for armored cables and unarmored cables are of different models
For armored explosion-proof cable seals, pay attention to the cable specifications; if it is an armored cable, it is necessary to determine whether it is armored with steel wires or steel strips, as the outer diameter of these two types of cables differs. I’ve already suffered losses because of this issue once; the GRAN connectors I ordered did not match the outer diameter of the cables. It’s best to ask the cable manufacturer for the outer diameter specifications of their cables of this type. Manufacturers of gland heads generally have standard sizes; if the outer diameter of the cable does not fall within these standard sizes, it must be custom-made
The wrong item was sent; how was that handled later?
