FAQs
CGE296 uses a 3/4" NPT thread and a 90° gland configuration, designed for 0.625-0.750" non-armoured tray cables. Ensure enclosure mounting aligns with the gland’s 2.64 in length and 1.63 in width/height, and verify the enclosure is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC. Sealants or gaskets should be chosen to match the gland material (Feraloy iron alloy) for sustained ingress protection.
CGE296 carries a NEMA 4 rating and NEC/CEC standards compliance, with suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. These certifications assure environmental sealing against dust and water ingress and regulatory alignment for general industrial wiring in non-hazardous areas, reducing risk and streamlining compliance audits.
No. CGE296 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 4 rating, which is not intended for hazardous or explosive environments. For such areas, consult gland models with appropriate certifications (e.g., explosion-proof or intrinsically safe variants) and ensure alignment with local codes and risk assessments.
CGE296 has a length of 2.64 inches, a width of 1.63 inches, a height of 1.63 inches, and weighs approximately 0.76 pounds. These dimensions support straightforward integration into standard control panels and enclosures while maintaining a compact profile for crowded installations.
The CGE296 supports a cable range of 0.625 to 0.750 inches and is constructed from Feraloy iron alloy, providing robust mechanical strength and durable sealing for non-armoured tray cables in general-purpose applications.
