Product Introduction
The Roxtec EXAWK0001201021 is a specialized, hazardous-location-approved compression unit (Wedgekit Ex) designed for use with Roxtec cable and pipe transit frames. Engineered from high-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, it provides exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh offshore, marine, oil & gas, and heavy industrial environments.
The wedge kit serves as the mechanical core of the transit system; when tightened, it expands to apply continuous, uniform pressure against the packing modules (cables, stayplates, and rubber inserts), creating a secure, gas- and watertight seal that is certified for explosive atmospheres (Ex applications).

Compliance & Standards Alignment
- Certified for hazardous areas (Ex classifications complying with ATEX / IECEx requirements for hazardous location infrastructure).
- Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel to withstand saline atmospheres, chemical washdowns, and aggressive industrial pollutants.
Technical Note: When tightening the Roxtec Ex Wedge, always use the recommended torque value specified in the installation instructions using a calibrated torque wrench. Uneven or over-torquing can compromise the integrity of the rubber expansion blocks and the Ex sealing rating.
Storage & Asset Preservation Guidelines
- Store the wedge kit in its original packaging in a dry, clean indoor environment to protect threads, metal finishes, and rubber components from premature aging or contamination.
- Avoid exposing loose lubricant packets or rubber elements to direct sunlight or extreme chemical vapors prior to installation.
Physical Installation Prerequisites
- Ensure that the transit frame is securely welded or bolted into the structural wall/deck partition and that all cables/pipes are properly routed through the packing modules before inserting the wedge.
- Clean the interior frame surfaces and modules free of heavy dirt, grit, or oil residues to ensure maximum friction and sealing tightness upon wedge expansion.
- Apply a light coating of Roxtec-approved lubricant to the wedge bolts and sliding surfaces as outlined in the manufacturer’s manual.
Buyer’s FAQ & Logistics
Q: What Harmonized System (HS) code applies to this Roxtec wedge kit?
A: Cable transit accessories, stainless steel mechanical components, and frame sealing hardware typically classify under HS code 7326.90 (Other articles of iron or steel) or 8538.90. Confirm final parameters with your customs broker.
Q: Does the EXAWK0001201021 kit include the stayplates?
A: Wedge kits typically include the mechanical expansion wedge and tightening hardware. Stayplates and rubber modules are generally sized and ordered separately based on your specific cable schedule and frame layout. Verify package contents with your supplier.
Q: Is the listed online price final for procurement?
A: Note: Price is subject to market availability and current stainless steel raw material tiers; contact our technical sales desk for a formal, time-sensitive quotation.
