Working with engineers from the canadian petrochemical, oil and gas industries, Thomas & Betts then introduced the STAR TECK XP fitting. With an easy-to-fill, integral sealing chamber and a disconnectable design requiring minimal cable preparation, this fitting became the benchmark for ease of installation in hazardous environments. A line of liquid and putty sealants was also developed at the same time, eliminating the need for the cement sealants used up to this point. Excellent solution for hazardous location Excellent pullout strength Robust metallic construction Quick and easy installation without disassembly Provides grounding continuity of cable armor
