Cable glands BACS type (code: BACS)
Flameproof Ex d Barrier Cable Glands sealed with sealing compound. The sealing ring blocks the cable on the diameter under armour. The cone rings grips and grounds the cable armour. The addition of female thread on the backnut allows the cable gland to be coupled to a conduit fitting. A backnut that is going to be screwed onto the body of the cable gland serves to block in position the intermediate body. Cable glands EMC tested by triaxial method, according to IEC 62153-4-3, IEC 62153-4-4 standards. Metric cable glands are made according to EN 62444 standard. Maintenance and installation operations and product selection must be done in accordance with IEC EN 60079-14 and 17 standards.

Degree of protection
The cable glands degree of protection is IP66 or IP66/68, 30-meters depth for 7 days according to the IEC EN 60529 standard; the degree of protection IP 68 is obtained by using flat sealing rings on cable glands with cylindrical threads. Without gaskets, the degree of protection is IP 66. If the cable glands with cylindrical or tapered threads are screwed on the threaded hole of an apparatus, in order to guarantee an IP66 or IP66/68 degree of protection, threaded parts must be sealed with Loctite or similar. In order to maintain the IPX8 degree of protection, the cable entry shall be fitted on enclosure witch satisfies an immersion test under 30 meters of water during 7 days. Metric cable glands are made in accordance to EN 62444 Standard.
