Intended Use
The metal adapters type AD.* are suitable to adjust diff erent thread types and
sizes for connections to enclosures certifi ed according to type of protection
Ex d, Ex e or Ex tb.
Remarks on Assembly
For non-threaded enclosures it is recommended to use fl at washer gaskets
(e.g. fi ber washer of Klingersil type C-4400 or similar, or chloroprene or
silicone washer gaskets) between screw-in component and the enclosure.
For threaded enclosures both fi ber washers or O-rings can be used.
Metric metal screw-in components when supplied as individual packaging
units are equipped with washer gasket and O-ring. Variants for ambient
temperatures below -50 °C are available. Please refer to the individual
datasheets for details.
Mounting and Installation
Observe the installation instructions according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
If you intend to install the device or enclosure in areas that may be exposed
to aggressive substances, ensure that the stated surface materials are
compatible with these substances. If required, contact Pepperl+Fuchs for
further information.
Install the adapter (3) in the entry of the enclosure.
Use washer gasket (1) and O-Ring (2) when appropriate.
Screw the second installation component into the adapter (3).
Tighten all screw threads with the specifi ed torque.
Document No.: DOCT-5516c
Edition: 02/2020
IP Protection Method Mode for Ex d / Ex e
Ex d enclosures and tapered NPT threads:
Assemble through a threaded hole. The enclosure wall has to be thick enough
to engage at least 5 full threads.
Ex d enclosures and metric threads:
Assemble through a threaded hole with O-ring on the thread outside of the
enclosure. The enclosure wall has to be thick enough to engage at least 5 full
threads.
Ex e enclosures and metric threads:
Tighten with locknut inside and fi ber washer gasket on the thread outside of
the enclosure. In case of O-ring it has to be positioned between fi ber washer
and screw head. An enclosure wall thickness of minimum 1.5 mm has to
respected.
Operation, Maintenance, Repair
Observe IEC/EN 60079-17 for maintenance and inspection.
If there is a defect, always replace the device with an original device.
Do not modify or manipulate the device.
