Eaton Specification Sheet - CGB298
The CGB298 employs a 3/4 in NPT thread size and supports a cable range of 0.875–1.000 in, enabling a precise seal with standard fittings and reducing field corrective work during panel builds. This translates to faster assembly, fewer parts, and reliable ingress protection for tray cable non-armoured wiring in control panels and machine enclosures. Its steel body delivers durable mechanical protection at a lower cost than stainless alternatives, making it a practical choice for general-purpose installations without sacrificing reliability. With NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 3R rating, you gain regulatory confidence and resilience in ordinary locations, including environments with incidental moisture exposure. The gland is designed for tray cable non-armoured systems, ensuring compatibility with common wiring practices and simplifying procurement for maintenance teams. The compact dimensions (3.13 in length, 2.25 in height and width) and a weight of 1.18 lb support space-constrained enclosures and quick retrofits. Documentation and installation resources, including IF 513A and catalog pages, accelerate qualification and field installation, reducing downtime and accelerating project timelines.

The CGB298 is specified under NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating, providing protection suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and moderate environmental conditions. This combination ensures regulatory compliance for typical industrial enclosures and improves long-term reliability for wiring in machinery and control panels.
Yes. The CGB298 is designed for tray cable non-armoured configurations and general-purpose protection. Its 3/4 in NPT thread and steel construction support secure entries into control panels and electrical cabinets, delivering a reliable seal and easy installation with readily available fittings.
Key certification and documentation include NEC/CEC compliance, NEMA 3R rating, and area classification for ordinary locations. Available resources include installation instructions (IF 513A), a Crouse-Hinds catalog page, and UL certification references, which help with procurement, qualification, and inspection processes.
The CGB298 reduces field adjustments with precise 3/4 in NPT threading and a predictable cable range, improving panel assembly speed and consistency. Its steel, non-armoured design minimizes maintenance concerns in ordinary locations, while documented installation guidance accelerates commissioning and reduces the risk of ingress-related issues over time.
