FAQs
When installing CGE297, ensure the 3/4 in NPT thread is properly engaged with the enclosure and tightened to the recommended torque to maintain seal integrity. Route the tray cable to minimize sharp bends, verify the cable range is within 0.750-0.875 in, and use the 90° angle gland to optimize space. Confirm enclosure rating aligns with the Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location requirement.
CGE297 is designed to satisfy NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 rating, making it suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This combination provides dependable protection against dust and water intrusion while ensuring regulatory compatibility for typical plant environments. Always cross-check local codes and your specific enclosure rating to verify fitment.
Yes. The CGE297 supports tray cables with a range of 0.750 to 0.875 inches and is specifically configured for non-armoured cables. This sizing minimizes the need for adapters or alternative glands, simplifying procurement and reducing stocking complexity in cabling projects.
Documentation includes installation sheets (IF 1826), a Crouse-Hinds gland catalog page, and the CGE297 specification sheet. UL certification references are available in UL listings for non-armoured glands, and NEC/CEC compliance is noted in the standard specifications. These resources support safe installation and regulatory audits in industrial facilities.
CGE297 utilizes a feraloy iron alloy for strong mechanical properties and durability, reducing maintenance needs in demanding environments. Its NEMA 4 rating and NEC/CEC compliance mitigate risk of leaks and non-compliance penalties, while the 3/4" NPT thread and precise cable range simplify replacements and spare-parts planning, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
