Body: AISI 316L stainless steel / EN 1.4404
Surface finish: Matte or polished, Ra < 0.8 µm
Enclosure sealing ring: Food grade HNBR (-25 °C to +150 °C) / Food grade EPDM (-40 °C to +120 °C)
Cable seal: Food grade Silicone (-60 °C to +200 °C) / Food grade EPDM (-40 °C to +120 °C)
Protection rating: IP68 / IP69K
Compliance: 3-A / FDA
• Double sealing - a blue H-NBR ring seals against the enclosure and a food-grade silicone insert seals around the cable.
• Anti-rotation grip - a gear-tooth elastomer holds the cable steady during installation and use, helping prevent twisting while the pressure screw is tightened.
• Drainable, easy-clean body - the streamlined body has rounded corners, no sharp angles and Ra < 0.8 µm surfaces to support drainage and easier cleaning.
• Rugged SS316L - corrosion-, impact-, acid- and alkali-resistant for demanding washdown environments.
First match the AG thread to the equipment entry. Then select a row whose cable range includes the cable's outside diameter. Finally, confirm GL, H, D and SW1/SW2 against the available installation space and tooling.
Where mounting depth or clearance is tight, the Type N (narrow) version offers the same hygienic design and sealing in a more compact body.
Type S is used in hygiene-critical equipment and washdown areas, including:
• Dairy and beverage processing
• Bakery and confectionery
• Meat and poultry lines
• Pharmaceutical production and packaging
• Biotechnology and cleanrooms
• Chemical washdown areas
HNBR: High mechanical strength and good resistance to oil, heat, wear, ozone, and ageing. Well suited to demanding sealing applications involving oils and lubricants.
EPDM: Excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, hot water, and steam, with good flexibility at low temperatures. Generally unsuitable for petroleum-based oils and fuels.
Based on our market observations, HNBR seals are common in food-processing equipment and EPDM seals in pharmaceutical equipment. For other applications, contact us to confirm the suitable material.
Yes - it is rated IP69K, covering close-range, high-pressure, high-temperature jet cleaning.
The enclosure sealing ring is rated -25 °C to +150 °C and the food-grade silicone cable seal is rated -60 °C to +200 °C.
Metric (M) is standard; PG and NPT are available on request.
For tight installation spaces choose Type N; otherwise Type S is the default.
