Exe Exd unions

Flameproof & Increased Safety Unions

Raxton Exd/Exe hazardous area unions provide a running joint whilst eliminating exposed threads and are particularly suitable for use where a coupler would be impractical – adaptors are ATEX Certified.

Standard Exe Exd unions, manufactured by Raxton, are available in a variety of thread forms and are available with male to female or female to female thread entries. The female connection thread of the union shall step not more than one size up from the male connection thread, or equal to one size up in the case of a thread gender change. Eg M20(M) to M25(F) or M20(M) to 3/4 NPT(F).

Raxton flameproof (Exd) and increased safety (Ex e) unions are marked with the applicable approval number and size.
