FAQs
The CGB398 SA uses a 1 inch NPT thread and aluminum construction, designed as a non-armoured, general-purpose gland for tray cables. It fits standard enclosures and accepts cables in the 0.875 to 1.000 inch range, enabling quick field installation. The Form D design supports secure clamping and straightforward entry, reducing assembly time during new builds.
The gland carries NEC/CEC materials and UL certifications appropriate for tray cable glands, with a NEMA 3R 4X rating for reliable service in ordinary locations and exposure to weather or dust. This means compliant installation in general purpose control panels, disconnect boxes, and outdoor enclosures, reducing the need for alternate components and simplifying procurement for regulated projects.
Yes. The CGB398 SA is designed for non-armoured tray cables used in ordinary locations, including outdoor enclosures where a weather-rated seal is beneficial. With aluminum construction and a 1" NPT thread, it provides robust protection while remaining compatible with typical conduit fittings and installation practices, helping prevent moisture ingress and cable movement issues.
For best results, align the gland with a clean, threaded enclosure entry and torque to standard NPT values to avoid over-compression. Use the 0.875-1.000" cable range, ensure the tray cable is properly seated, and verify the Form D clamp engages securely. Regular inspection during maintenance helps detect seal wear, safeguarding against ingress and loosening faults.
Investing in the CGB398 SA can reduce retrofit and maintenance costs by standardizing the enclosure entry and minimizing field seal failures. The aluminum housing offers lightweight handling and resistance in ordinary locations, while NEC/CEC and UL compliance reduce commissioning delays. Fewer accessory parts and faster installation translate to lower labor hours and shorter downtime, improving overall equipment effectiveness.
