Due to the pressure inside the retorts, a packing gland or stuffing box
must be used to pass the wires
(the heat penetration or heat distribution
cable) into the vessel.
The installation of a stuffing box designated as a
C-24, C-24-FL, or C-24-S, will permit the introduction of the wires into the
retort while preventing the steam from exiting the hole.
If a cable is to be
removed or installed frequently, the swivel type (C-24-S) is recommended.
It
permits screwing the stuffing box into the retort without twisting the
cable.
Flange type stuffing boxes are also available (C-24-FL).
