Kopex International

Kopex International is reminding the market that the IECEx 60079 standard puts specific responsibilities on specifiers of electrical systems for use within areas covered by this standard. The company has just published a Fact Sheet that will provide essential electrical conduit specification and usage information.

The Kopex Ex range of accessories is, uniquely, certified as a piece of equipment, removing the need for retesting of existing equipment when there are any changes or replacement takes place. The new range of converters, adapters, reducers and stopping plugs can be interchanged without altering the Ex approval of the installation or system.

Following a major capital investment in new CNC machining facilities at its HQ in Coleshill, Kopex International is now able to manufacture a new range of stopping plugs as part of its electrical conduit systems for hazardous area applications.

Kopex International has introduced a new leaflet on its Ex range of threaded connectors, reducers and enlargers. Engineered accordance with the latest ATEX/IECEx Standard 60079, these products are classed as equipment rather than components and can be fixed to an enclosure without the need for re-testing.

Routeco plc has been appointed as a Master Distributor partner in the United Kingdom for Kopex International for its complete range of products.
