Eaton Crouse-Hinds CGB298 SA Cable Gland - NEMA 3R 4X

Cable range compatibility reduces mis-purchase and stocking complexity by covering 0.875–1.000 in non-armoured tray cables. This precise range allows contractors to standardize purchases across projects, minimizing field rework caused by diameter variation. In practice, operators gain faster panel prep and cleaner seals, especially when gland entries must fit limited opening spaces. Aluminum construction delivers a robust, corrosion-resistant body with a lighter profile than many steel glands. The lighter weight reduces manual handling effort during retrofit projects and routine maintenance, while maintaining resilience in factory floors and outdoor entrances. This choice supports long service life in general-purpose gland applications without compromising strength. Three-quarter inch NPT threading aligns with common conduit fittings, eliminating the need for adapters and simplifying installation. The standardized thread reduces installation time, reduces leak paths, and improves sealing integrity in tray cable entries. The gland's 3.13 inch length and 2.25 inch width/height keep it from crowding adjacent components in compact panels. Compliance and certification are core risk mitigators: NEC/CEC standards ensure electrical compatibility, UL certification confirms product safety, and the NEMA 3R 4X rating extends protection in ordinary and more demanding locations. This triad supports regulatory audits, insurance requirements, and smooth project approvals. Designers can specify CGB298 SA with confidence across environments where non-armoured tray cables are deployed. Physical dimensions — 3.13 in length, 2.25 in width, 2.25 in height — pair with a modest 0.49 lb weight for easy handling during installation and field service. The compact form factor also facilitates retrofits in crowded enclosures and when upgrades must fit existing ductwork. These attributes contribute to faster commissioning and lower labor costs over the gland’s lifetime. End-to-end compatibility with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds gland family ensures consistent performance across the tray cable gland ecosystem. The CGB298 SA is non-armoured and designed for general purpose protection, making it suitable for tray cable installations in ordinary locations. For installers, reference installation sheets IF 1826 and related catalog pages to streamline mounting and seal integrity. Industry deployments show that non-armoured tray cable glands like the CGB298 SA reduce commissioning time by standardizing gland sizing, improving sealing performance, and simplifying spares management. In projects ranging from process automation to light manufacturing, this gland supports consistent installation quality and predictable maintenance schedules. The result is lower risk of ingress-related faults and a faster route to compliant, reliable electrical enclosures.
