Product Details

Like the former series, type 416MC connectors, the 424CU series connectors are also for use with type MC Cables. However, this series is explosion proof. Which means that in case of a power surge in the circuit, they will not blow up as the case with many lower grade connectors out there. They come in different grades or classes. Different classes of this series is relevant to different TYPE MC Cables. The most common class in the market is; Class I division 2.

The 424 Series explosion proof connector is approved by the following standards bodies.

1.Underwriters Laboratories
2.Listed for use in Hazardous locations
3.Class I - Division 2 - Groups A & B*
4.Class I - Division 2 - Groups C & D
5.Class II - Division 2 - Groups E, F & G
6.Class III
7.1/2 and 3/4 inch hub sizes
8.Canadian Standards Association Approved for use in hazardous locations
9.Class I - Divisions 1 & 2 - Groups A, B, C & D
10.Class II - Divisions 1 & 2 - Groups E, F & G
11.Class III
12.Meet the requirements for American Bureau of Shipping.

Other outstanding features of 424 Series explosion Proof connectors are:

1.Made of nickel-plated brass conductor and aluminum exterior, both of which are corrosion resistant.

2.It has an efficient built-in sealing chamber to ensure it perfectly fits in place in the circuit, the sealer can extrudes so it can be manipulated for the
   exterior of the cable.

3.The interior has no air voids so the seal completely holds on to the conductors.

4.Has a built-in free running hub which allows for disconnecting and automatic reconnecting of the circuit without tampering
   with the seal.

5.Compatible with up to 8 sizes of cable which is a pretty wide range for a single connector.
