Accessories for hydraulic systems compliant to ATEX European Directive
ELESA+GANTER ATEX line includes plugs, breather caps, oil level sight glasses and oil lever indicators complying with health and safety requirements according to the new 2014/34/UE ATEX European Directive (explosive atmospheres) for equipment in Group II, category 2GD.
These accessories are designed for applications in potentially explosive atmospheres in the pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, mechanical industry.
A potentially explosive atmosphere exists when a mixture of air gases, vapours, mists, or dusts combine in a way that can ignite under certain operating conditions.
ATEX line has been recently enlarged with the brand-new HFTX-EX oil level indicator in transparent technopolymer with an anodised aluminium star-shaped contrast screen. It is characterised by a magnifying lens with a particular shape to increase and improve visibility, even from side positions.
The laser-engraved mark on the products and the declaration of conformity certify that the products of this line are manufactured in fully compliance with requirements and provisions of the European Union Directive and submitted to procedures for conformity assessment.
SFP-EX breather caps, HGFT-EX oil level sight glasses and TN-EX plugs are now available in yellow RAL 1021. This colour doesn’t represent a requirement of the new Directive, but it only reminds the yellow of the ATEX logo.
