Abstract

A cable gland for use in a hazardous environment that includes a hub body having an opening extending therethrough. A gland nut is configured to engage an end of the hub body to define an inner cavity. The gland nut has a first inner annular step and a second inner annular step. A seal, sleeve and spring are disposed in the inner cavity. The sleeve includes a frustoconical surface. The spring is disposed in the inner cavity between the frustoconical surface and an opposite-facing frustoconical surface. When the gland nut is in a first position, the first inner annular step engages the first end of the seal. When the gland nut is in a second position, the second inner annular step engages the end surface of the sleeve and the seal is deflected radially inward. When the gland nut is in a third position, the spring is deflected radially inward.
