Standard and customized fittings and feedthroughs for Power

For more than 75 years, Conax Technologies has been a global leader in the design and manufacture of compression seal fittings for a wide range of power industry applications. Our customers consistently count on Conax to provide standard cable gland solutions, as well as innovative, customized fittings and feedthroughs that are specially designed to meet their needs.

The Conax difference: soft sealant technology

Conax pioneered soft sealant technology which, when combined with mechanical compression, results in a secure seal on wires, probes, and electrodes. While competitive seals that utilize epoxy fillings are easy to install, they’re often unreliable in protecting your environment due to incorrect bonding of the epoxy to the elements or housing. Cracks will develop and this allows gases or liquids to leak around the elements.

Thanks to our soft sealant technology, Conax fittings maintain constant compression around the elements throughout the life of the seal to minimize risk of gas or liquid leaks. Soft sealant technology also makes installation, replacement and adjustment to wires, probes, and electrodes possible.

Single and multiple element sealing

Conax designs and manufactures a variety of single and multiple element compression seal fittings. Single element fittings are used for sealing on a single element such as a temperature probe, wire, electrode, tubewell, pipe, etc. Multiple element fittings are used when you need to seal multiple thermocouple, RTD or thermistor probes, tube bundles and liquid level sensors, or a variety of devices within a single fitting. 

• PG Compression Seal Fittings seal against gases and liquids and resist element movement under pressure. These fittings provide pressure/vacuum sealing for tubes, probes, pipe, cable or any single element assembly (not electrically isolating), including thermocouples, RTDs, thermometers, thermistor probes, capillary tubes, tubewells, multi-pair cables, and analyzer sample tubes.
• Split Seal Fittings are designed to facilitate assembly and sealant replacement when the diameter of the probe tip is larger than the diameter of the element(s) at the location of the seal. Conax offers various models, including.
  • PGS Split Compression Seal Fittings seal on single elements.
  • SPGA/DSPGA Multi-hole Split Seal Fittings seal on multiple elements with a single split. These split seal fittings are our tightest ever with pressure ratings that are higher than typical ratings achieved with standard multi-hole split compression seal fittings.
