The replaceable sealant permits repeated use of the same fitting.Wirescan be easily assembled or replaced in the field.Simply insert the element and torque the cap.To replace the sealant or wires,simply loosen the cap,replace the necessary items,relubricate and retorque the cap.Glands are supplied factory lubricated.When reused,the glands shouldbe relubricated to maintain published torque and pressureratings.If glands are cleaned prior to assembly,they should be relubricated.On weld mount models,the heat from the welding process will destroy the lubricant.These models must also be relubricated prior to use.See page 103 for information on our lubrication kit.Replacement Packing Sets are available.These consist of a sealantand four ceramic insulators.Replacement sealants may also be ordered separately (without insulators).To order a Replacement Packing Set,order RPS – (Gland) – (Wire Gauge) – (Number of Holes) – (Sealant) In addition to electrical isolation,the TG gland seals against gases and liquids and resists element movements under pressure.TG gland bodies with NPT threads or SAE threads are constructed from 303SST standard.Weld-neck style glands are constructed from 316LSST standard.Caps and followers on all styles are constructed from 303SST standard.Many optional materials are also available, including 316LSST,Inconel and more.For information on alterative materials,see page 9.Cap Style A offers a mounting thread only. Cap Style B provides threading on both ends for attachment to conduit or terminal heads.Alternative sealant materials are available. Please consult a Conax Technologies sales engineer for custom needs. •Temperature Range:-300Ëš F to +1600Ëš F (-185Ëš C to +870Ëš C)• Pressure Range:Vacuum to 10,000 PSIG (690 bar) – seePressure Ratings in Specifications Chart.• Seals 1 to 16 Elements
