Eaton Specification Sheet - CGE294
Material and durability: The CGE294 uses a Feraloy iron alloy body, delivering robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments. Business impact: extended service life minimizes maintenance cycles and replacement costs, improving total cost of ownership in metalworking, chemical processing, and packaging lines. Application: suitable for general-purpose sealing in panels and enclosures that require dependable ingress protection and a long service life. Cable range and gland type: With a min/max cable range of 0.375–0.500 in and a non-armoured, tray cable design, this gland streamlines procurement and reduces the need for multiple gland sizes on a single project. Business impact: fewer SKUs, faster panel wiring, and lower on-site inventory burdens. Application: ideal for machine builders and system integrators wiring low- to mid-diameter control cables. 90° angle connector: The 90° angle gland supports tight routing inside control panels and equipment enclosures, cutting installation time and enabling higher wiring density. Business impact: quicker terminations, less panel depth consumed, and improved cable management in limited spaces. Application: electrical rooms, PLC cabinets, and panel assemblies where space is at a premium. Thread Size and mounting ease: A 3/4 in NPT thread provides compatibility with standard conduits and mounts, reducing the need for adapters. Business impact: simplifies installation, lowers hardware costs, and accelerates commissioning. Application: retrofits and new builds in conveyor lines, packaging systems, and process equipment. Certifications and compliance: NEC/CEC standards, NEMA 4 rating, and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification ensure regulatory compliance and safe operation. Business impact: lowers risk, supports project approvals, and enables consistent safety practices. Application: design and install in non-hazardous areas and non-wlood/washdown environments where reliable gland performance is required. Compatibility and ecosystem: Designed to work within the CGE family and tray cable ecosystems, enabling a cohesive approach to glanding across multiple projects. Business impact: predictable performance, easier spare-part matching, and streamlined maintenance planning. Application: integrated hardware strategies for panel builders and OEMs striving for standardized gland solutions.

FAQs
To install CGE294, verify the cable range (0.375-0.500 in) and confirm the non-armoured tray cable compatibility. Align the gland with a 3/4 in NPT conduit entry, insert the cable, and tighten the gland nut and seal per the IF 1826 guidance. Ensure proper seating to maintain ingress protection and avoid over-tightening to prevent gland distortion. For best results, follow Eaton’s installation sheets and standard gland practices to minimize leaks and ingress risk.
