Eaton Specification Sheet - CGB598
Cable range and fit: The CGB598 accommodates 0.875-1.000 inch cable ranges and is designed for non-armoured tray cables with a 1-1/2 inch NPT thread. This standard range minimizes the need for multiple gland sizes on a single project, reducing procurement complexity and stocking costs. In practice, it supports consistent enclosure sealing across panels and junction boxes, which speeds field wiring and reduces install errors. Construction and robustness: Built from steel, the gland is non-armoured yet rugged enough for industrial enclosures. The 1-1/2 in NPT thread provides a secure, leak-resistant seal when paired with compatible fittings, improving ingress protection. The general-purpose protection type suits a wide range of environments without the need for exotic materials. Cable type and gland characteristics: It is specified for non-armoured tray cable and is sold as a non-armoured gland. This reduces cost and simplifies field assembly, especially in retrofit projects where interior cabling is predominantly tray cable. The gland's dimensions align with standard enclosure cutouts, easing retrofit and new-build installations. Compliance and safety: NEC/CEC standards support electrical installations in North America, while the NEMA 3R rating indicates suitability for outdoor or partially protected locations. Area classification of Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations aligns with typical plant environments, giving you confidence in risk assessment and regulatory compliance. Installation efficiency and lifecycle value: Eaton provides installation instructions and datasheets (IF 1826, CGB598 specs) to streamline commissioning. Availability of UL certifications and catalog pages reduces vendor qualification time, while the sturdy steel gland offers long-term durability, lowering maintenance cycles and total cost of ownership. Industry context: For machinery and process lines using tray cables, a reliable non-armoured gland like CGB598 supports quick upgrades and scalable wiring strategies without compromising protection.

FAQs
CGB598 is designed for non-armoured tray cables with a 0.875–1.000 inch range and uses a 1-1/2 inch NPT thread. This compatibility simplifies wiring in enclosures and retrofit projects, reducing the need for multiple gland sizes and ensuring a secure, compliant seal in standard tray-cable installations.
When installing a 1-1/2" NPT gland like CGB598, ensure enclosure cutouts align with the thread, use the proper sealing gasket or compound per IF 1826 guidance, and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque spec. This ensures an ingress-protected seal and reliable long-term performance in harsh environments.
Yes. The gland carries a NEMA 3R rating and is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, making it suitable for outdoor or semi-exposed enclosure installations where moisture or rain exposure may occur, while maintaining enclosure integrity.
CGB598 aligns with NEC/CEC electrical standards and is supported by UL documentation. The product line also targets ordinary location classifications, contributing to compliant, safe installation practices across North American facilities.
The robust steel construction and standardized dimensions reduce maintenance cycles by improving ingress protection and durability. Quick procurement, fewer gland variants, and clear installation guidance also shorten commissioning times, lowering total cost of ownership over the product life cycle.
