IF 1749 - CGBS Cord Connectors
Eaton Specification Sheet - CGBS4019
Explosion-proof design is essential for safe operation in hazardous environments, reducing risk while ensuring NEC/CEC compliance and area classifications for oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This translates to faster commissioning, fewer safety interruptions, and lower lifecycle costs when wiring portable cords in classified areas. Steel housing provides rugged durability, resisting mechanical damage and weathering to extend service life in plant floors or outdoor installations. The sturdy 1-1/4 in NPT gland and compact dimensions enable straightforward mounting and quick cord changes, reducing downtime and inventory complexity. The non-armoured cable compatibility lowers material costs and simplifies procurement for general purpose wiring in controlled environments. NEC/CEC compliance and explicit hazardous-location ratings give project teams clear regulatory alignment, facilitating approvals, risk management, and safer contractor work. Comprehensive documentation and installation guidance support faster deployment and consistent installations across sites.

FAQs
When installing the CGBS4019, follow the IF 1749 installation sheet and use the 1-1/4 in NPT gland to ensure a proper seal in Class I and II zones. The steel housing and explosion-proof design support secure mounting, with care taken to maintain the outer sheath tolerance of 1.000-1.188 inches for reliable strain relief and connector integrity in hazardous areas.
Yes. The CGBS4019 is specified for non-armoured cable and uses a portable cord connector gland with a 1-1/4 inch NPT thread, enabling straightforward integration into standard conduits and fittings. Its compact dimensions and weight of 1.22 lb help minimize installation footprint while maintaining robust protection in demanding environments.
The unit adheres to NEC/CEC standards with hazard-location ratings Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, and Class III, and it is designed to be explosion-proof for hazardous classified locations. This combination supports regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and safe operation across industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining.
Typical applications include portable power cord connections in chemical plants, refineries, and mining sites where hazardous areas require explosion-proof connectors. It supports temporary or mobile equipment setups, allows quick cord changes, and provides reliable performance under harsh conditions, contributing to safer startup/shutdown procedures and minimized downtime.
Maintenance focuses on inspecting the steel housing and gasket seals for damage and corrosion, verifying that the outer sheath remains within the 1.000-1.188 inch range, and confirming the NPT threads maintain a tight seal. Regular documentation review using the catalog pages and datasheet helps ensure continued compliance and predictable lifecycle costs.
