Appleton Kwiko A Sealing Cement and Filler for Conduit Sealing Fittings

Appleton Kwiko A sealing cement and filler is a specially formulated water-soluble powder designed for use with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs. In classified areas, the cement is mixed to proper proportions, poured into sealing fittings, and hardens to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions from one portion of a conduit system to another. A companion fiber filler forms dams around and between conductors to keep the compound from leaking out while it is poured in its liquid state. This product is rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations per NEC/CEC.

Key Features

  • Fiber Filler: Forms dams around and between all conductors to prevent sealing compound from leaking out while it is poured in its liquid state.
  • Sealing Cement: A specially formulated, water-soluble powder that, when mixed to proper proportions and poured into sealing fittings, hardens to contain and restrict the passage of gases and explosions in classified areas.
  • Compatible System: Designed for use with Appleton sealing fittings and Appleton sealing hubs as part of a complete conduit sealing system.
  • Quantity Guidance: Required quantity of cement and filler varies by fitting — refer to the specific Appleton sealing fitting or sealing hub for the amount required.
  • Location Rating: Rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations per NEC/CEC compliance standards.

Why Appleton?

Appleton Kwiko A sealing cement and filler is engineered specifically to work with Appleton sealing fittings and sealing hubs, giving installers a matched, purpose-built system for containing gases and explosions in classified conduit installations. The water-soluble powder formulation and dam-forming fiber filler work together for a dependable, code-compliant seal, backed by Appleton's reputation for reliable electrical sealing products.

What this is: AC5A is an 80 oz (5 lb) tin of Kwiko A sealing cement only — the water-soluble powder that hardens once poured into a sealing fitting. It does not include packing fiber. If your job also needs fiber (poured first to dam the fitting before the cement), see the F-series refill listing (fiber only) or the ACK6FA TwinPak (cement + fiber together in one kit).

Appleton AC5A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does Appleton AC5A Kwiko A include the packing fiber, or is that ordered separately?
AC5A is cement only. It's an 80 oz (5 lb) tin of Kwiko A sealing cement, the water-soluble powder that hardens after it's poured into a sealing fitting. No packing fiber in the tin. Fiber goes in first to dam the fitting around and between the conductors so the liquid compound doesn't run out, so if you don't already have it on the truck you need the F-series fiber-only refill, or the ACK6FA TwinPak that packages cement and fiber together.
2) Can I use Kwiko A cement in sealing fittings from another manufacturer?
Kwiko A is formulated for Appleton sealing fittings and Appleton sealing hubs as a matched system, and that's the only compatibility Appleton states for it. If you're pouring another maker's fittings, use the sealing compound that manufacturer specifies for their fitting.
3) How much Kwiko A cement do I need per sealing fitting?
It varies by fitting size, and Appleton publishes the required cement and fiber quantity on each sealing fitting or sealing hub rather than on the cement tin. Check the fitting or hub you're pouring and total it across the number of seals on the run before deciding how many 5 lb tins of AC5A to buy.
4) What is Kwiko A sealing cement actually for in a conduit run?
It's the poured seal inside a conduit sealing fitting. In classified areas the powder is mixed to proportion, poured into the fitting, and hardens so gases and an explosion can't travel from one section of the conduit system to another. The fiber packing is what holds the compound in place while it's still liquid. Typical uses are sealing fittings and sealing hubs in classified location conduit, plus general commercial and industrial installs, new work and maintenance.
5) What location rating does Appleton AC5A carry under the NEC?
Kwiko A sealing cement is rated for Ordinary (Unclassified) Locations per NEC/CEC. Functionally it is the compound poured into sealing fittings so gases and explosions cannot pass between sections of a classified conduit system, but the rating stated for the cement itself is Ordinary (Unclassified).
6) Is the Kwiko A powder water-soluble, and does that affect how I mix it?
Yes, the cement is a water-soluble powder. You mix it to the proper proportions on site and pour it into the fitting in liquid form, which is why the fiber dam has to be packed first. Once it sets, it forms the hard plug that contains gas and explosion pressure.
7) What is the Appleton part number to order the 5 lb tin of Kwiko A cement?
Order Appleton MPN AC5A for the 80 oz (5 lb) tin of Kwiko A sealing cement. The fiber is a separate item, so for a cement-and-fiber kit the number to ask for is the ACK6FA TwinPak.
