Appleton CG-50100 Strain Relief Connector 1 in Aluminum

Product Description

The APPLETON CG-50100 is a straight male liquidtight strain relief connector designed for flexible power and control cord terminations in commercial and industrial electrical installations. The connector accepts cord and cable with an outer diameter of 0.5 to 0.625 inches and uses a neoprene sealing grommet that grips the cable jacket firmly without damaging it, protecting internal wiring connections from external tension. The aluminum body pairs with a copper-free aluminum cap and a steel and non-stick washer, making the assembly suitable for wet, dry, and hazardous locations. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this connector where a liquidtight, strain-relieved termination is required for flexible neoprene, Hypalon, or PVC-jacketed cord and cable.

The CG-50100 is rated for use in dry, wet, and hazardous locations, making it appropriate for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications including process equipment, machinery cord drops, and panel wiring where flexible cord must be terminated with a secure, liquidtight seal. The 1-inch male thread size fits standard liquidtight conduit fittings and enclosure knockouts. The pink color coding provides quick visual identification on the job. It is sold individually and sourced from Mexico.

• Accepts flexible cord and cable with outer diameter from 0.5 to 0.625 inches
• Rated for dry, wet, and hazardous locations per UL 514B and CSA C22.2
• Compatible with neoprene, Hypalon, and PVC-jacketed flexible power and control cord

Compatibility

Designed for use with flexible neoprene, Hypalon, and PVC-jacketed power and control cord and cable with an outer diameter of 0.5 to 0.625 inches. Fits standard 1-inch liquidtight conduit connector entry points. Wire mesh strain reliefs can be used alongside this connector for particularly harsh applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before making cord terminations. Hand-tighten the cap onto the body until the grommet firmly grips the cable jacket, then verify that the cord cannot be pulled free under normal tension. Do not overtighten the cap, as excessive force can damage the neoprene grommet and compromise the liquidtight seal.
