Eaton Crouse-Hinds CGB398 Cable Gland - NEC/CEC
Part Number: CGB398
Quick Summary
CGB398 cable gland by Eaton Crouse-Hinds provides reliable sealing for tray cables in industrial enclosures. Design engineers often struggle with fitting non-armoured glands in tight spaces while maintaining compliance. It carries NEC/CEC standards, a NEMA 3R rating, and ordinary/non-hazardous location classification to streamline approvals and safety. With steel construction and 1 inch NPT threading, this gland integrates into existing conduit systems, reducing spare parts and installation time. For panel builders and integrators, it simplifies procurement by covering tray cable, non-armoured, and general-purpose sealing in one component. This combination of specs helps reduce downtime during modification and upgrade projects. Access to installation sheets and brochures via the downloads supports fast, compliant field work.

FAQs
The CGB398 is designed for tray cables in the 0.875 to 1.000 inch range and is specified as non-armoured. This makes it ideal for standard industrial control panels where tray cable entries are common. The gland’s 1" NPT thread provides compatibility with a wide range of conduit fittings, reducing the need for multiple gland sizes in a single project.
CGB398 uses a 1 inch NPT thread, a common standard in electrical enclosures that enables straightforward mounting to conduit bodies and panels. This compatibility simplifies installation, accelerates procurement, and supports reliable sealing with existing hardware without adapters.
Yes. The CGB398 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per its area classification and NEC/CEC standards. This makes it well suited for general industrial environments where there is no hazardous atmosphere, while still providing robust protection for tray cable entries in control cabinets.
CGB398 carries NEC/CEC certification and a NEMA rating of 3R 4, indicating suitability for outdoor or wet/dust-prone environments and reliable enclosure sealing. This combination supports compliance during audits and helps ensure safe, long-term operation of electrical enclosures housing tray cables.
Installer guidance is available through Eaton’s CG fittings installation documentation, including IF 513A sheets and related literature. Access to these installation instructions and brochures supports correct gland selection, proper torque, and compliance with enclosure standards during field work and commissioning.
