FAQs
The CGB8920 uses a standard 3" NPT thread and is designed for non-armoured tray cables, enabling straightforward compatibility with common enclosures and glands. This simplifies procurement, reduces the need for adapters, and speeds up field mounting while ensuring a robust seal against dust and moisture in ordinary locations.
Verify cable range (2.188–2.500 inches), thread size (3"), thread type (NPT), material (steel), and overall dimensions (approximately 4.06 in length, 3.88 in height and width). Also confirm it’s intended for non-armoured tray cables and that the installation site meets Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location requirements per NEC/CEC.
Yes, the gland is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3R protection class, making it appropriate for indoor and certain outdoor installations. It adheres to NEC/CEC standards, providing regulatory alignment for projects in North America and reducing compliance risk during inspections.
The gland’s non-armoured design, steel construction, and precise cabling range minimize ingress points and gasket damage. Its 3" NPT thread aligns with standard fittings, reducing field modification needs and safeguarding cable integrity in general-purpose enclosures from routine vibrations and temperature variations.
By delivering reliable sealing, reducing downtime from leaks, and ensuring NEC/CEC compliance, the CGB8920 lowers maintenance costs and audit risk. The reuse-friendly 3" NPT thread and standardised cable range also shorten commissioning times, improving overall equipment uptime and project throughput.
