Eaton Specification Sheet - CB4
Conduit compatibility is a core feature: the CB4 is designed for EMT and Rigid/IMC conduit in 1-1/4 inch trade size, built from stamped steel for rugged service. This combination yields solid mechanical support and consistent spacing, translating to fewer field adjustments and faster panel wiring. In practice, installers can complete runs with greater confidence and less rework, especially in dense industrial enclosures where space is tight. The stamping process also contributes to dimensional stability even under vibration and temperature cycling. Compact dimensions and lightweight profile: with a length of 3.44 in, width 1.88 in, height 0.75 in and a weight of 0.21 lb, the CB4 minimizes added bulk while maintaining robust clamping force. The compact form helps when routing multiple conduits through limited clearance and supports clean, professional installations in lighting and emergency system layouts. Quick-hand install sequences reduce tool time and lessen fatigue on busy jobsites. Compliance-focused design: NEC/CEC standards alignment and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification ensure the spacer meets common code requirements for non-hazardous locations, reducing review cycles. Canadian certification references further simplify cross-border projects, limiting the need for alternate hardware and streamlining procurement for multinational facilities. This combination helps QA teams demonstrate compliance during inspections. Installation and compatibility advantages: CB4 works with standard clampbacks and spacer assemblies in the Crouse-Hinds family, enabling straightforward integration into existing wiring methods. The stamping supports repeatable fitment across batches, reducing misfit hardware and warranty issues. For manufacturers and contractors, CB4 offers an OEM-friendly option that scales across equipment racks, panels, and racks where space is at a premium. Industry context and ROI: for panel builders, OEMs, and electrical contractors, standardizing on CB4 reduces part variety, procurement complexity, and field labor. The result is a lower total installed cost, faster project turnarounds, and predictable performance in lighting and emergency systems that demand reliable conduit support while maintaining ongoing compliance.

FAQs
To install CB4, align the spacer with the conduit run and position it at the approved mounting points on EMT or rigid/IMC. Secure with the standard hardware in your Crouse-Hinds family kit, ensuring the 1-1/4 inch trade size is maintained and the spacer sits flat against the mounting surface. Check alignment after tightening to preserve consistent spacing and avoid binding or misfit conduits.
CB4 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification. Canadian certification references are provided via UL certification pages for EMT applications, supporting cross‑border deployment and code compliance in non-hazardous locations.
No. The CB4 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. For environments requiring hazardous-area ratings, select alternative spacers that carry appropriate explosion-proof or intrinsically safe certifications to meet local code requirements.
CB4 has a length of 3.44 inches, width of 1.88 inches, height of 0.75 inches, and a product weight of 0.21 pounds. The trade size is 1-1/4 inches, and it is manufactured from stamped steel for durability in standard electrical installations.
