How to identify correct models and replacements

• Match the exact Appleton part number (e.g., CG90-1250, PTSC60A, RL5360).
• Confirm trade size, hub/thread specification and cable/conductor range from datasheets.
• Verify material/finish (copper-free aluminum, malleable iron, zinc-plated steel, epoxy coating).
• Check approval marks and published ratings for your jurisdiction and application.
• Use manufacturer datasheets and distributor catalogs for dimensional drawings and replacement part lists.

Procurement tips

Cross-reference part numbers with distributor listings and datasheets before ordering. For hazardous locations, request product specification and installation instructions and verify certifications. When repairing or replacing, prefer OEM replacement kits or approved parts listed on the manufacturer spec sheet.
