Kopex uses markings on the outer wall of the fitting to display clearly the equipment data which includes the ATEX and IECEx certification details as well as company information. By contrast, many manufacturers use a single line data marking which is hidden when the fitting is in place, so that the system is rendered uncertified under the new 60079 standard.
The Kopex Ex range also includes all sizes and finishes, up to M100/4NPT and embracing brass, nickel plate, steel and stainless, to ensure compatibility and availability of approved fittings to protect the overall equipment approval.
With Kopex equipment, significant cost and time savings can be made through maintaining Ex approval without a complete re-test. All products are manufactured to the highest standards in the UK, under Kopex’s own, exacting quality controls and are both ATEX and IECEx approved.
