Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard 1/2″ conduit knockouts and connector ports on electrical enclosures and device housings
- Flexible neoprene, hypalon, and PVC jacketed power and control cords (0.625″–0.750″ diameter)
- Industrial control panels and machinery manufacturer assemblies
- NEMA 3R rated enclosures for outdoor and wet-location applications
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The CG-6250 is a standard catalog part with no direct superseding model; legacy Appleton cord grip connectors with identical 1/2″ hub and 0.625″–0.750″ cable range may be cross-compatible, but consult the equipment manufacturer’s documentation or Appleton technical support for confirmation.
Works With
- Appleton liquidtight fitting ecosystems (straight, 90°, and threaded variants)
- Standard electrical conduit systems (IMC, rigid, EMT)
- Moisture-sealed cable entry applications per UL 514B and CSA C22.2
- Wire mesh strain reliefs (optional accessory for additional cable protection in harsh environments)
