KBAU4NXSLE

Overview

The KBAU4NXSLE is a stainless steel cable gland manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., designed for use in hazardous locations. It features a 1-1/4 inch NPT thread size with a thread length of 1.1 inches. The component is constructed from 316 Stainless Steel and belongs to the HLY series. It supports a cable diameter range of 0.79 to 1.26 inches (20 to 32 mm) and operates within a temperature rating of -76 to 266 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 to 130 degrees Celsius).

Feature Summary

• Constructed from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
• Designed specifically for hazardous location applications.
• Features a 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded connection.

Applications

• Securing non-armored cables in industrial hazardous areas.
• Mounting on nVent Hoffman enclosures requiring IP66/NEMA 4X sealing.
• Electrical installations in environments with corrosive elements.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a Hazloc-rated gland, as this model is distinct from standard industrial glands. Confirm the cable outer diameter falls strictly within the 0.79 to 1.26-inch range to ensure proper sealing integrity. Ensure the enclosure entry hole matches the 1-1/4 inch NPT specification. Check for any additional certification requirements specific to the installation zone classification.

Selection Notes

Select this part when 316 stainless steel construction is mandatory for chemical or marine exposure. Choose over other series if the 1-1/4 inch NPT interface is fixed by existing panel infrastructure. Consider the temperature rating limits when evaluating ambient conditions. This model is intended for non-armored cables; armored cable variants require different locking mechanisms.

Part Context

This component is part of the HLY series from nVent Hoffman, which specializes in cable and cord grips for enclosure systems. It complements wall-mount enclosures like the ASR series by providing certified entry points. The product ensures environmental sealing while maintaining electrical safety standards in demanding industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific Hazloc configuration. Verify compatibility with existing gaskets and locknuts before substituting with generic NPT glands, as Hazloc certifications may not transfer.
