The surface of the heating cable must not exceed the maximum temperature of the constructional materials or the Termperature Classification if installed in a hazardous area. This is ensured by limiting the pipe or workpiece temperature to a safe level either by design calculation or by means of temperatue control devises.
Plastic Gland (PGS5)
| 
| | PGS5 is a hazardous area approved cable gland with a flat seal for use with flat profile heating cables. Cable glands can be used for entering cabinet boxes or enclosures. PGS5 has an M25 x 1.5 thread and the seal is made from silicone rubber to give a high temperature withstand.
PGS5 is designed specifically for the Heat Trace range of heating cables and is part of a Standard termination system. There are 3 plastic cable glands and each gland is specific to a range of cables. See table below. | |  |
