Eaton Crouse-Hinds NCGS237 Solar Cord Grip - IP68
Part Number: NCGS237
Quick Summary
NCGS237 is a solar cord grip that securely seals PV wiring at enclosure entries for outdoor solar installations. Engineers often struggle with ingress protection and unreliable seals when connectors don’t match enclosure threads or cable sizes. This part delivers NEC/CEC compliance, IP68 ingress protection, and Canadian certification options, ensuring reliable performance in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. The nylon body and three-hole design support a range of conductors, including #12 AWG and #10 AWG, for up to 1000V PV cable. By combining a compact footprint with a robust seal, it reduces field retightening, lowers maintenance costs, and speeds installation on renewable energy projects.

FAQs
The NCGS237 uses a three-hole nylon grip designed for a 3/4 inch trade size. Route #12 AWG or #10 AWG 1000V PV cables through the three holes, align with the enclosure opening, and tighten per standard torque recommendations to ensure IP68 sealing. The nylon body provides a compact, corrosion-resistant option that fits typical outdoor enclosures without adapters.
NCGS237 supports #12 AWG and #10 AWG PV cables up to 1000V. The three-hole design and 7 mm hole diameter accommodate common PV wiring through a 3/4 inch entry while maintaining IP68 protection, making it suitable for demanding outdoor installations.
Yes. NCGS237 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and features IP68 ingress protection. It complies with NEC/CEC standards, with Canadian certification options available, making it appropriate for outdoor solar enclosures and non-hazardous environments.
NCGS237 complies with NEC/CEC standards for electrical installations and offers options for Canadian certification as shown in the provided UL-based references. This helps ensure regulatory alignment for solar projects in multiple jurisdictions and reduces compliance risk during audits.
The nylon, three-hole design with IP68 sealing enables faster, more reliable cable entry without adapters, reducing field service calls and retightening.
