RGSFB Ex
RGSFB Ex is for bolting. The bolted transits can be used in areas where welding is prohibited, or when the stress level induced by welding is unacceptable.
For installations where cables are already in place, specify RGSFBO Ex which has a removable end.
The system consists of a frame, rubber blocks and a compression unit.
The frame is or bolted to a marine structure and packed with rubber blocks suited for each cable and pipe dimension. The compression unit is inserted to compress the rubber blocks against cables and pipes to establish a tight seal.
Benefits of MCT Brattberg Ex systems
- Ex rated transit for hazardous environments
- Assists cable management
- Seals the penetration against the passage of fire, water, gas, sound and environmental hazards
- Can be combined with special EMC modules and for Grounding and Bounding
- Cable dimension marked on block
- Unlike other brands our system can be dismantled and re-used
- No adaptation of standard blocks needed

Technical Specifications
RGSFB Ex is a standard transit with a flange and Ex gasket that allows the frame to be bolted where welding is not possible.
Standard frames come in eight sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
The internal width can be 60.5 ± 1 (Size 1,3,5,7) or 120.5 ± 1 (2,4,6,8).
Note that there can be limitations in type-approvals & certificates, making certain sizes inapplicable.
RGSFB Ex can also be installed in multiple frames.
RGSFB Ex transits are supplied in kits, complete with drilled holes, bolts, nuts, washers and a gasket or sealing compound. The flange is 60x10mm. (2.36”x0.39”).
Standard frames come in four sizes: 2, 4, 6 and 8. They are all the same width. Height differences are shown below. The material is 10 mm thick.

Correct and safe installations
To achieve the highest standard of safety, a cable or pipe transit must be installed correctly. As there are many different types of frame – which may be either welded, bolted or glued into position – and insert block, it is essential that installers known when to use the most appropriate installation method.
