Technical Specifications
This NCGS series solar cord grip features 1" trade size threading for standard enclosure compatibility, with 9 precision-molded holes sized for 5mm cable diameter. The unit accommodates USE-2 solar cables in #12 AWG and #10 AWG wire sizes, constructed from UV-resistant nylon material for long-term outdoor performance. NEC/CEC compliant design ensures code compliance for solar photovoltaic installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Installation Process
- Select appropriate 1" knockout or threaded opening in solar combiner box or junction enclosure
- Thread cord grip into enclosure opening, ensuring proper gasket seating for environmental seal
- Route individual USE-2 solar cables through designated 5mm holes in cord grip assembly
- Position cables to desired length inside enclosure, allowing adequate service loop
- Tighten cord grip compression fitting to secure individual cable strain relief
- Verify each cable is properly gripped and sealed before energizing system
Applications
Perfect for:
- Solar Combiner Boxes - Multiple DC circuit consolidation in rooftop and ground-mount installations
- Photovoltaic Junction Boxes - String-level cable management and environmental protection
- Solar Inverter Connections - DC input cable organization and strain relief at inverter enclosures
- Monitoring System Enclosures - Communication and sensor cable management in solar monitoring equipment
- Rooftop Solar Arrays - Weather-sealed cable transitions between array sections and combiner equipment
- Ground-Mount Solar Systems - Underground cable transitions and equipment interconnections
- Commercial Solar Installations - Large-scale photovoltaic systems requiring organized cable management
- Residential Solar Systems - Home solar installations with multiple string configurations
Solar Cord Grip System Benefits
Solar cord grips provide superior cable management compared to individual cable glands or simple knockout seals. The multi-hole design reduces installation labor while maintaining individual cable strain relief and environmental sealing. This approach minimizes enclosure penetrations, reducing potential leak points while maximizing cable organization efficiency in space-constrained solar equipment enclosures.
Why Choose Nylon Construction?
Nylon material offers the ideal combination of UV resistance, temperature stability, and chemical compatibility for solar applications. Unlike metal cord grips that can corrode or conduct heat, nylon maintains consistent performance across the 25+ year lifespan typical of solar installations. The precision-molded construction ensures reliable sealing while the lightweight material reduces stress on enclosure mounting points.
