Triton T3CDS cable glands deliver a unique concept in cable sealing techniques
incorporating the patented Compensating Displacement Seal system, CDSTM.
Introduced to effectively handle all types and sizes of cable construction taking the
concern out of the mind of the operator, letting the product do the job instead.
This concept provides effective sealing on the cable inner sheath, utilising a proven
reliable and robust flameproof sealing device. Taking a crucial care principle into
Ease of Installation account in its design, this concept leaves nothing to chance yet delivers the ultimate in
and Crucial Cable Care assembly and installation simplicity that guarantees a safety level that is unsurpassed
by its rivals.
This latest development in a long line of original cable gland solutions from CMP
Products is designed and fully approved to EN 60079-0,1,7,15, 31 & IEC 60079-0,1,7,15,
31. Triton T3CDS complies fully with the Essential Health & Safety Requirement is
detailed in Annex 11 of Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) in relation to the design and
construction of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This compliance covers not only the traditional protection required against ignition of
gas and vapours, but also the latest dust hazard protection. This enables the product
to be CE marked and coded with an ATEX Category 2 gas and dust marking, and it is
effectively labelled ‘ II 2GD’.

& Benefits • Unique Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) system, compatible with all types of cable.
•  t the critical cable sealing point the CDS system protects the cable inner sheath from

any excess force, which is transferred to and absorbed by the internal compensator
incorporated in the CDS system.
• Allows the Cable Gland to be tightened face to face every time regardless of cable
diameter.

Armour Termination
• Multiple Universal Armour Clamp for Single Wire Armour, Tape Armour & Braided Cables.

Deluge Seal
• P roven, reliable “O” Ring arrangement which is concealed and protected from damage
after installation. Shell deluge tested to DTS01:91, after 20 years simulated ageing.

Outer Seal
• Closure range accepts all commonly used cables in the industry.
• Using the CMP Outer Seal Tightening Guide a perfect seal, guaranteed to withstand the
environment is achieved every time.

New High Temperature Rating
