Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between A1 and A2 type cable glands?
A1 type glands are designed for unarmored cables and provide basic cable retention and sealing. A2 type glands are specifically designed for armored cables and include additional features for securing the armor and providing earth continuity.
Q2: What IP rating do your standard cable glands achieve?
Our standard A1/A2 cable glands achieve IP68 rating when properly installed, meaning they are dust-tight and can be submerged in water under specified conditions.
Q3: Can you provide custom thread types and sizes?
Yes, we specialize in custom thread manufacturing including metric, PG, NPT, and special thread types. We can produce any thread size from M12 to M75 and PG7 to PG63.
Q4: What certifications do your explosion proof glands carry?
Our explosion proof glands are ATEX certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, IECEx certified for international markets, and carry necessary markings for global compliance.
Q5: What is your minimum order quantity?
Our MOQ for standard items is 500 pieces. For custom designs, the MOQ is typically 1000 pieces, though we can accommodate smaller quantities for sample orders.
Q6: Do you provide complete testing documentation?
Yes, we provide comprehensive test certificates including material certifications, IP test reports, and performance test results with all shipments.
