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).
