Hawke 501 / 453 / RAC Nikel Plated Brass Explosion-Proof Gland
Manufacturer: Hawke
Product type: plugs and valves

Hawke is a world leader in cable inserts for explosive atmospheres with a very comprehensive range that includes all types of applications.
For 50 years, Hawke has led the development of cable gland products for critical applications aimed at oil and gas activities.
Also known as glands, cable inserts are available in brass, nickel-plated brass, and stainless steel.
These come with standard markings and certifications for ATEX, IECEx, CSA, INMETRO, and EAC among others.
Adeptor stocks a large number of glands, adapters/reducers, drain plugs, breathers and stop plugs.
With Hawke’s wide range we can offer solutions for a wide range of cable types certified to the latest ATEX/IECEx standards.
- A Cable Gland is, in simple terms, a device designed to attach and secure a coil of cable to a piece of equipment or an enclosure.
- They provide strain relief and may include a provision to make a connection to the shield, braid, lead or aluminum sheath of the cable.
For unarmored and braided cables, this strain relief is provided by sealing only.
- For armored cables, the shield and clamps can also provide pull resistance.
- In hazardous areas, cable glands are also used to maintain the protective concept of the equipment or enclosure being terminated – in most cases Exe or Exd.
Why should cable glands be specified?
Poorly installed, incorrect Gland chosen for a particular cable or application can have a weak link in the chain, while it should maintain the integrity of the overall installation so you should choose Gland from Hook.
While the cost of a Gland is negligible compared to the cost of other hazardous area equipment, the cost of failure can be catastrophic.
Failure can take many forms.
Forms of failure:
- Water or dust entering the device
- Cable properties have been compromised
- Cable damage that could lead to an explosion hazard
- Loss of cables from equipment
- risk of electric shock
- Equipment failure
- Failure to meet basic environmental health and safety requirements
So F 501/453 Universal Cable Gland is dual Exe/Exd certified, strong and durable for use with “W” single wire armor, “X” wire braid, “Z” steel tape armor, and PVC insulated rubber cable.
- For special use with cables that exhibit “cold flow” characteristics.
- Provides IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69 ingress protection – suitable for cables that exhibit “cold flow”.
