Eaton Specification Sheet - NCGS25
Nylon construction with IP68 protection provides excellent weather resistance and corrosion resistance, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs in harsh outdoor environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The five-hole design accommodates USE-2 cables up to #12 and #10 AWG, delivering flexible routing and secure strain relief, which translates to fewer cable movements or pulls and improved field reliability in solar junction boxes and panel housings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 3/4 inch trade size standardizes installation across common solar cable runs, enabling faster commissioning and lower inventory complexity for contractors and original equipment manufacturers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 5 mm hole diameter supports a range of conductors while preserving sealing integrity, which helps maintain IP68 protection during washing, rainfall, and wind-driven moisture. Feature → Business Impact → Application: WEIGHT/Dimensions optimization—with 2 in length and 1.5 in width/height—facilitates installation in tight enclosures, reducing space requirements and enabling compact, compliant mounting. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance, Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations suitability, and UL-listed Canadian certifications referenced in documentation provide confidence for cross-border projects, minimizing regulatory risk and speeding approvals. Industry insight shows that combining robust material choices with straightforward mounting reduces maintenance intervals and enhances overall solar array uptime, translating to a lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Begin by selecting a 3/4" trade size opening and ensure the five-hole groove aligns with the cable bundle. Route USE-2 conductors (#12 or #10 AWG) through the 5 mm holes, position the grip so the body seats against the enclosure, and tighten appropriately to maintain IP68 sealing. Verify that the enclosure remains weatherproof after installation.
Yes. The NCGS25 is IP68 rated, providing high-level protection against dust ingress and complete water immersion under designed conditions. This makes it well-suited for outdoor solar arrays and other outdoor electrical enclosures where moisture exposure is a concern, while remaining compatible with ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC.
The NCGS25 complies with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. The product pages and certification reports provide additional validation, including any Canadian certifications referenced in UL/ULC documentation. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance across North American solar projects.
The grip accommodates USE-2 conductors sized #12 AWG and #10 AWG, with a 5 mm hole diameter in a 3/4" trade-size body. This supports typical solar cables used in photovoltaic installations and helps streamline cable management within junction boxes and enclosures.
The nylon NCGS25 provides corrosion resistance, lighter weight, and easier handling in field conditions, reducing installation time. Its compact 2 in length and five-hole design deliver flexible routing, reliable seal performance, and cost savings from lower maintenance and longer service life in solar infrastructure.
