For over 50 years, CCG has redefined safety in hazardous area installations, starting with the invention of the Captive Component Gland^® in 1972. Developed in response to issues in deep-level mining, where loose components frequently caused installation failures, this innovative design eliminated the risks posed by traditional cable glands. Today, CCG’s products are trusted by industries worldwide, including Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, and Mining for their unmatched safety, simplicity, and reliability. 

When it comes to hazardous area installations, one misstep can compromise the entire system. A common pitfall? Improperly specified or fitted cable glands. Thankfully, CCG’s Captive Component Glands® offer a reliable solution to ensure your Ex installation remains safe and compliant.

Most cable glands come with multiple components—cones, cone rings, seals—that must be perfectly assembled to ensure safety. However, mistakes happen; components can be misplaced, misaligned, or omitted altogether. The result is a compromised connection that jeopardises the Ex certification of your apparatus.

CCG’s innovative Captive Component Gland^® design eliminates these risks. With “Built-in Safety™” at its core, these glands feature no loose components. Every part is securely held captive, preventing assembly errors. The simplicity of the two-part design means that wherever in the world CCG products are installed, users can be confident that every component is properly fitted, safeguarding the entire system. 

This unique approach ensures a reliable installation every time, making CCG the go-to choice for operators, system integrators, and OEMs. 

Key advantages: 

• Ease of Installation: Without loose parts, the glands are simple to assemble—even in unsupervised or remote locations where skilled labour may be limited. 
• Global Confidence: The intuitive two-part system ensures correct installation anywhere in the world. 
• Enhanced Certification Assurance: By minimising human error, Captive Component Glands^® safeguard the integrity of your Ex certification.
