FAQs
The CGB296 fits non-armoured tray cables within a 0.625 to 0.750 inch range and uses a 3/4 inch NPT thread. This combination ensures a secure, code-compliant seal for common tray cable installations in general-purpose equipment and enclosures.
No. The product is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3R/4 profile. It is intended for standard industrial environments rather than hazardous locations, and should be paired with appropriate enclosure protection for outdoor exposure.
Select a 3/4 inch NPT entry hole, insert the gland through the gland nut, seal with the appropriate sealant or gasket, and tighten to the recommended torque for your enclosure. Verify the cable fits within 0.625–0.750 inches and check for any ingress protection requirements post-install.
The CGB296 aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA rating of 3R and 4, suitable for ordinary locations. It is designed for general-purpose protection and is documented for UL/Canada certifications, ensuring regulatory compliance in typical industrial settings.
Using the CGB296 reduces ingress risk and improves sealing reliability, translating to lower maintenance and downtime. Its steel construction and compliant ratings contribute to longer service life in general-purpose installations, delivering cost savings over piece-part replacements in growing electrical infrastructures.
