11 Description
The A2F, RA2F, A2FHC, RA2FHC, A2e, RA2e, A2eHC, RA2eHC, A2FHT, RA2FHT, A2FHTHC,
RA2FHTHC, A2eHT, RA2eHT, A2eHTHC, RA2eHTHC Series Cable Glands allow circular
unarmoured or braided/screened cables to enter associated enclosures to which they are fitted (as
defined by their coding) without compromising the explosion protection that it provides. They are
manufactured from the following component parts:

• Metallic entry item hexagonal in form which is partially threaded at one end with a male metric
or NPT thread used to secure the entry item to the associated enclosure. At the other end
there is a partially turned external surface which is provided for placement of the product
markings. At this end the internal profiled bore of the component is partially threaded with a
female thread to accept engagement of the outer seal nut.
• Elastomeric sealing ring which is inserted into the female threaded end of the entry item
which, when displaced by tightening of the outer seal nut, secures the incoming cable in
place, along with providing ‘sealing’ and ingress protection.
• Stepped skid washer hollow ‘top hat’ in form, is fitted into the recessed bore of the outer seal
nut. Which upon tightening of the outer seal nut, aids axial displacement of the sealing ring
and limits any twisting of the cable within the cable gland during installation.
• Metallic stepped skid washer in A2FHT Series and A2eHT series
• Metallic or Polymeric stepped skid washer in A2F Series and A2e Series (dependent upon
gland size)
• Metallic outer seal nut, hexagonal in form, is partially threaded at one end with a male thread
which engages with the entry items and upon tightening displaces the sealing ring onto the
cable. Internally the bore is recessed at one end to accommodate the stepped skid washer,
and the other end is machined with an internal radius to reduce the risk of damage to cable
sheath/jacket.
• Model code series suffixed 'HC' for all cable gland model series, up to either gland size 75S
or gland size 75 (dependent upon model series), which includes an alternative nut that is
extended to provide a plain circular portion, to facilitate the connection of a hose that provides
additional mechanical and environmental protection of the cable terminated within the cable
gland. The compression nut may alternatively be machined with a dimensionally equivalent
'smaller' certified gland size hose connection feature. In this instance the upper cable sealing
diameter range being reduced accordingly.

Design Options

The front threaded entry item may be manufactured with a profiled groove to captivate an ‘O’ ring seal
which locates on the mating face of the associated enclosure. This option having the cable gland type
designation prefixed with the letter R, e.g. RA2FHT Series.

The front threaded entry item may be manufactured with any larger metric or NPT thread form size
from the sizes certified.

The front threaded entry item may be manufactured with an alternative nearest equivalent recognised
thread type and size to the metric thread sizes certified.

Metric threaded cable entry spigots of all cable gland model series to be manufactured with a thread
pitch between 0.7mm and 2.0mm, with 1.5mm as standard.

The optional use of an internally fitted brass or brass plated ingress disc between the seal and the
stepped washer component parts within 'A2e' Series & 'RA2e' Series, ‘A2eHT’ Series, ‘RA2eHT’
Series, ‘A2F’ Series, ‘RA2F’ Series, ‘A2FHT’ Series & ‘RA2FHT’ Series cable glands. Changing their
function to a cable entry blanking device prior to cable installation, as a result, a Conditions of
Manufacture was introduced.

The introduction of the following low profile 'across corners' envelope cable gland sizes, with the cable
gland size suffix code designation 'P':

Gland Size 16P 20S16P 20SP 20P 25P*

(* not available in aluminium)
The differences to the standard cable gland sizes, are-
• The entry item component is machined from round bar, equal to the standard gland size
across corners dimensions, with a central portion machined to a hexagonal profile, having
reduced across flats from the standard gland size. Along with a minor increase in length
resulting from an increase to the conical wall thickness.
• The gland nut component (dependent upon model series and gland size), having reduced
across flats and across corners dimensions from the standard gland size. Along with their
maximum inner most bore dimension being reduced.
• The optional use of an internally fitted brass or brass plated ingress disc between the seal
and the stepped washer component parts within 'A2e' Series & 'RA2e' Series, ‘A2eHT’ Series,
‘RA2eHT’ Series, ‘A2F’ Series, ‘RA2F’ Series, ‘A2FHT’ Series & ‘RA2FHT’ Series cable

13 Conditions of Manufacture

The following conditions are required of the manufacturing process for compliance with the
certification.

i. Where the product incorporates certified parts or safety critical components the manufacturer
shall ensure that any changes to those parts or components do not affect the compliance of
the certified product that is the subject of this certificate.
ii. The front threaded entry item may be provided with, but not limited to, an alternative nearest
equivalent recognised thread type and size to the metric thread, whilst maintaining a
tolerance of fit, equal or better than, a medium fit to ISO 965-1 & ISO 965-3.
For example:
• ET - BS 31:1940 (1979) Table ‘A’
• PG - DIN 40430:1971
