FAQs
The CGBS1013 is designed for use in hazardous and classified locations with a 1/2" NPT threaded gland and steel body. Installers should ensure the outer sheath is within the 0.312–0.437" range for non-armoured cable, follow NEC/CEC compliance, and reference IF 1749 installation sheets to achieve a correct, safe termination. This reduces ignition risk and supports regulatory conformity in Class I, II, and III environments.
A 1/2" NPT thread aligns with standard conduit and gland fittings used in many industrial enclosures. This compatibility minimizes the need for adapters, speeds up commissioning, and lowers labor costs. For hazardous locations, pairing with appropriate conduit fittings ensures a robust seal and maintained explosion-proof integrity during operational cycles.
Yes. The CGBS1013 is specifically rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC classifications including Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, and Class III. Its explosion-proof design and non-armoured cable compatibility make it well-suited for oil, gas, and chemical processing environments where secure, compliant cord connections are critical.
The CGBS1013 carries NEC/CEC standards for Hazardous Locations and Class I, II, and III ratings (Division 1 and 2 as applicable). These certifications confirm suitability for hazardous environments, reduce regulatory risk, and support safe operation across multiple industrial sectors, including mining, refining, and petrochemicals.
Investing in the CGBS1013 yields ROI through faster installation times due to standard 1/2" NPT fittings, reduced maintenance with durable steel construction, and lower risk of non-compliance penalties in hazardous areas. It also simplifies spare part inventories by using common non-armoured cable terminations and aligning with NEC/CEC requirements.
