Eaton Crouse-Hinds CGFP296 Cable Gland - 3/4\" NPT
Part Number: CGFP296
Quick Summary
CGFP296 cable gland is a non-armoured, general-purpose sealing solution designed for tray cables in industrial installations. Engineers often struggle with ingress protection, fitment, and compatibility across standard fittings, which can slow commissioning. This gland supports NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification, with area classification for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, giving you clear regulatory alignment. By using a steel, 3/4\" NPT gland in tray cable systems, you gain durable protection, easier mounting, and consistent performance. The combination of robust construction and Eaton Crouse-Hinds engineering reduces maintenance costs, minimizes downtime, and strengthens supplier alignment for ongoing projects, while enabling seamless integration with existing tray cable components and installation practices.

FAQs
To install CGFP296, align the gland with the panel cutout and engage the 3/4 inch NPT thread into the mating enclosure or conduit throat. Use appropriate sealant or thread tape as recommended by Eaton, then torque to standard gland guidelines to ensure a seal without over-tightening. Verify the outer sheath fits within 0.625 to 0.750 inches and that the tray cable is non-armoured for full compatibility. Confirm the seal remains intact after cable insertion and perform a basic ingress test before energizing equipment.
CGFP296 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and NEC/CEC compliance. It is not listed for use in hazardous or explosion-proof applications. For such environments, select a gland rated for hazardous locations (Ex-rated) and confirm compatibility with local codes and installation practices. Always match gland selection to the zone classification and project safety requirements to avoid non-compliance.
CGFP296 is designed for tray cable that is non-armoured, with an outer sheath diameter range of 0.625 to 0.750 inches. It uses a 3/4 inch NPT thread and a steel body for general-purpose protection. Ensure the cable meets the non-armoured specification and that the enclosure and gland size align with the installation’s mechanical constraints. This ensures reliable sealing, strain relief, and compliant cable routing in control panels.
CGFP296 carries NEC/CEC standards and UL certification for Non-armoured Glands, confirming suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This regulatory alignment helps with compliance during audits and project approvals, reduces the risk of non-conforming installations, and supports consistent performance in standard industrial environments.
CGFP296 delivers improved installation speed through standard 3/4" NPT fittings and non-armoured compatibility, reducing labor and part complexity. Its steel construction provides durable protection against mechanical wear, while NEC/CEC and UL certifications reduce regulatory risk and streamline audits. Overall, it supports reliable ingress protection, lower maintenance costs, and faster project commissioning in everyday panel wiring and tray cable systems.
