ABSTRACT:
An explosion and flame proof electrical connector protective assembly is presented which comprises an explosion proof cylindrical housing threadably connected at each end to explosion proof gland members. A pair of disconnectable conventional, i.e. non-explosion proof, connector elements, each leading from ends of respective cables, are disposed and connected within the housing and gland members. Both gland members are tightly sealed to the respective cables forming a protective explosion proof environment within the housing for the attached connector elements. The protective assembly of the present invention is especially well suited for use in extremely hazardous environments such as Class 1, Division 1 hazardous areas as defined by the National Electric Code (NEC) and which are associated with oil rigs and the like.
