– Recommended for Ex e & Ex de equipment

• Are entries threaded or clearance holes?

• Is a locknut, serrated washer or earth tag required?

Gland Clearances• When planning the number

of entries per side, the following clearances are recommended between entries:– M16 = 32mm– M20 = 39mm– M25 = 46mm– M32 = 58mm– M40 = 68mm

• Avoid possible locations of earth studs or breather drains
