ROXTEC GLAND
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ROXTEC GLAND from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in ROXTEC GLAND cable glands?
ROXTEC GLAND cable glands are constructed from brass, which provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The brass material is suitable for industrial environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or physical stress is common. The glands are designed to meet NEMA 12, 13, 4, and 4X ratings, indicating protection against dust, water, and corrosion. No additional coatings or platings are specified in the standard product data.
What is the compatible cable diameter range for ROXTEC GLAND multi-port models?
For multi-port ROXTEC GLAND models, such as the 4-port (RG M63/4) and 9-port (RG M63/9), the minimum compatible cable or pipe diameter is 0.138 inches. The maximum diameter is not explicitly listed in the standard specifications, but the glands are designed to accommodate cables within the range that fits the port size. For single-port models like the RG M63/1, the minimum diameter is 0.374 inches. Always verify the exact cable diameter against the gland's compression range before installation.
What NEMA ratings do ROXTEC GLAND cable glands carry?
ROXTEC GLAND cable glands are rated for NEMA 12, 13, 4, and 4X enclosures. NEMA 12 provides protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. NEMA 13 adds protection against oil and coolant seepage. NEMA 4 offers protection against splashing water, hose-directed water, and external ice formation. NEMA 4X includes corrosion resistance. These ratings make the glands suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications.
How many ports are available in the ROXTEC GLAND M63 series?
The ROXTEC GLAND M63 series includes models with 1, 4, and 9 ports. The single-port model (RG M63/1) is used for a single cable entry. The 4-port model (RG M63/4) allows up to four cables through one gland, and the 9-port model (RG M63/9) accommodates up to nine cables. All models share the same M63 thread size for mounting into enclosures or bulkheads.
Can ROXTEC GLAND cable glands be used in hazardous locations?
The standard ROXTEC GLAND cable glands are not explicitly rated for hazardous (explosive) locations based on the available specifications. They are designed for general industrial use with NEMA 12/13/4/4X ratings. For hazardous area applications, you would need to consult the manufacturer for specific explosion-proof or intrinsically safe variants. Always verify the gland's certification against the requirements of your installation environment.
