11 Description
A2F Range
The A2F Range of Cable Glands are metallic and are intended to terminate circular braided or
unarmoured cables into a threaded entry point within enclosures without compromising the explosion
protection provided by the enclosures in accordance with relevant codes of practice. They consist of a
male-threaded front entry component and a seal actuation nut. The front entry component, fitted with
an elastomeric displacement sealing ring, and nylon 6 stepped skid washer, is intended to screw into
an entry point of its associated enclosure. The seal actuation nut threads into the front entry
component thereby effecting flameproof and environmental sealing onto the cable outer sheath.

A2E Range
The A2E Range of Cable Glands are identical to the A2F Range, except the entry thread engagement
lengths are minimised.

A2FRC Range
The A2FRC Range of Cable Glands are intended to terminate circular braided or unarmoured cables
into enclosures without compromising the explosion protection provided by the enclosures in
accordance with relevant codes of practice. They consist of a male-threaded front entry component, a
seal actuation nut and either an outer captivated or running coupling. The front entry component,
fitted with an elastomeric displacement sealing ring, is intended to screw into an entry point of its
associated enclosure. The seal actuation nut threads into the front entry component thereby effecting
flameproof and environmental sealing onto the cable outer sheath. The outer running coupling is
retained in the seal actuation nut using the carbon steel 'C' clip, or a similar arrangement to allow free
running thread connection to conduit.

A2F-FC Range
The A2F-FC Range of Cable Glands are intended to terminate circular braided or unarmoured cables
into enclosures without compromising the explosion protection provided by the enclosures in
accordance with relevant codes of practice. They also provide an anchor for a flexible metallic conduit
which can protect the cable from damage. They consist of a male-threaded front entry component, a
seal actuation nut and a conduit anchor element that screws into the inside of the conduit. The front
entry component, fitted with an elastomeric displacement sealing ring, is intended to screw into an
entry point of its associated enclosure. The seal actuation nut threads into the front entry component
thereby effecting flameproof and environmental sealing onto the cable outer sheath. The conduit
anchor is secured between the seal actuation nut and seal to form a skid washer.

A2F-HC Range
The A2F-HC Range of Cable Glands are intended to terminate circular braided or unarmoured cables
into enclosures without compromising the explosion protection provided by the enclosures in
accordance with the relevant codes of practice. They also provide an anchor for a flexible hose which
can protect the cable from damage. They consist of a male-threaded front entry component, a seal
actuation nut with a hose anchor to which a hose can be attached using a jubilee clip or similar. The
front entry component, fitted with an elastomeric displacement sealing ring and skid washer, is
intended to screw into an entry point of its associated enclosure. The seal actuation nut threads into
the front entry component thereby effecting flameproof and environmental sealing onto the cable
outer sheath.

A2F-FF Range
The A2F-FF Range of Cable Glands are intended to terminate flat braided or unarmoured cables into
a threaded entry point within enclosures without compromising the explosion protection provided by
the enclosures in accordance with relevant codes of practice. They consist of a male-threaded front
entry component and a seal actuation nut. The front entry component fitted with an elastomeric
displacement sealing ling, and nylon 6 stepped skid washer, is intended to screw into an entry point of
its associated enclosure. The seal actuation nut threads into the front entry component thereby
effecting flameproof and environmental sealing onto the cable outer sheath.

A2E-FF Range
The A2E-FF Range of Cable Glands areidentical to the A2F-FF Range, except the entry thread
engagement lengths are minimised.

A2FRC-FF
The A2FRC-FF Range of Cable Glands are identical to the A2FRC Range, except the the seal is
intended for use with flat cable.

Design options
The front entry component may be manufactured with a profiled groove to captivate an O-ring seal
which locates on the mating face with the associated enclosure. This option having the gland type
designation prefixed with the letter R, e.g. 25RA2F.

Materials of manufacture:
The Cable Glands Type A** are manufactured in brass, aluminium, mild steel and stainless steel. All
brass manufactured parts can be optionally nickel plated. All mild steel manufactured parts can be
optionally zinc plated.

Examples of alternative entry component threadforms:

ET (Conduit)
PG
BSPP
BSPT
ISO
NPT
NPSM
Metric entry threads of all model series to be manufactured with a pitch between 0.7 mm and
2.0 mm, with 1.5 mm as standard.

Alternative material of manufacture of the skid washer to be the same as the gland material.

Alternative 'C' clip plate finish (where applicable):

• Stainless steel
• Phosphor bronze
• Beryllium copper

The option to fit a flat blanking disc between the seal and the skid washer to maintain a minimum IP66
ingress protection. The disc to be marked 'Ex eb only' to indicate that the gland is not suitable for use
in flameproof applications when it is fitted.

Type designation:
The gland and seal sizes are determined by the entry thread and cable range take sizes:
