For hazardous area applications where oil resistant electrical conduit systems are required, Kopex International can now offer a system that combines the ATEX certified flame HAM proof gland with EXLB oil resistant flexible metallic conduit.



This solution has been made possible thanks to changes in certification of the HAM range and the new combination is suitable for  EX II 2 GD gas and dust as well as EExd IIC and EExe II applications.

The HAM ATEX approves flameproof gland range,  is designed to suit EXLB and EXSB conduits, and is available in brass, metal coated and stainless steel. With epoxy resin, the glands are approved for use in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 classifications where vapours gas or dust may be present for both EExd flameproof and EExe increased safety protection certification. The glands operate within a temperature range for -60º c to +80º c and have a T6 temperature classification of +85ºc.  IP66 ingress protection is also provided.

EXLB conduit is a general oil resistant product with a flame retardant PVC covering.  It is approved to IEC 61386 and is IP66 and IP67 rated.  It has a general temperature rating of 25° c to + 105° c and in flexing applications, - 6° c to 105°.  Conduit size availability is 10mm – 63mm (¼ inch – 2 inches).
