MCT Ex - Landbased | RGG-OK Ex
On land Power Plant

These cable and pipe transits are used in high-risk land-based Ex rated environments to minimize danger by preventing the spread of fire, water, gas, chemicals and other hazardous substances.

RGG-OK Ex

For when the penetration vary
  • Mounting gasket and hardware available

  • Applicable on core-drilled holes

  • Openable and retrofit

RGG-OK Ex frame type can be bolted onto concrete, plaster board wall or casted into a concrete wall or floor to protect against flooding, water and ingress.

  • Type approved cable transit for buildings
  • Can be casted in concrete
  • Assists cable management
  • Seals the penetration against the passage of fire, water, gas, sound and environmental hazards
  • Unlike other brands our system can be dismantled and re-used
  • Marked cable designation on blocks for increased safety
  • No adaptation of standard blocks needed

RGG-OK Ex have removable ends which enables installation where cables already have been pulled.

Correct and safe installations

To achieve the highest standard of safety, a cable or pipe transit must be installed correctly. As there are many different types of frame – which may be either welded, bolted or glued into position – and insert block, it is essential that installers known when to use the most appropriate installation method.

For more information, please view following instructions, videos or download manuals as PDFs.

Use bolts for this transit

This transit was designed for areas where welding is prohibited or welding induced stress levels making welding unacceptable. This transit is therefore to be fastened by bolts to ensure installation quality.

Standard frames come in eight sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. 
The internal width can be 60.5 ± 1 (Size 1,3,5,7) or 120.5 ± 1 (2,4,6,8).

Can be installed in horizontal combinations.

Note that there can be limitations in type-approvals & certificates, making certain sizes inapplicable

General

The system consists of a frame, rubber blocks and a compression unit. The frame is casted or bolted to a Ex hazardous structure and packed with rubber blocks suited for each cable and pipe dimension. The compression unit is inserted to compress the rubber blocks against cables and pipes to establish a tight seal.

  • Also available with EMC.
