EBU3MBNCWCLE

Overview

The EBU3MBNCWCLE is an ATEX-certified cable gland manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for non-armored cables. It features a brass body with nickel plating and an M32 thread size. The unit supports a cable diameter range of 0.55 to 0.67 inches (14 to 17 mm) and provides a clamping capacity of 0.55 to 0.94 inches. Physical dimensions are 1.54 inches in diameter by 1.38 inches in length.

Feature Summary

• Certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21, and 22 hazardous areas under ATEX and IEC standards
• Engineered for flameproof (Ex d), increased safety (Ex e), and dust protection (Ex tb) applications
• Provides a wide clamping range within a single gland unit for non-armored cables

Applications

• Protection of critical processes in explosive gas environments
• Installation in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous locations
• Dust explosion protection in Zone 21 and Zone 22 areas
• Securing non-armored cables in Ex d and Ex e enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hazardous area classification (Zone 1/2 or 21/22) matches your site requirements before procurement. Confirm that the cable outer diameter falls strictly within the 0.55 to 0.67-inch range to ensure proper sealing and certification compliance. Ensure the enclosure entry hole size corresponds to the M32 thread specification.

Selection Notes

Select this model when working with non-armored cables requiring robust protection in potentially explosive atmospheres. The nickel-plated brass construction offers durability against corrosion. Consider the wide clamping range if cable tolerances vary slightly, but verify the specific diameter fits the tighter 0.55-0.67 inch operational limit for certified performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Hazloc series of cable glands. These products are specifically engineered for industrial environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be present. The series ensures integrity of the enclosure's explosion-proof rating at cable entry points.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Replacement requires matching the M32 thread, brass material, nickel finish, and exact hazardous area certifications.
