The 17-year-old striker has been close to first-team action in recent weeks with two spots on the bench for the games against Sunderland in the league and in the cup.
As McGrail is yet to sign professional forms for the Lilywhites he is still registered as a scholar with North End and therefore what is effectively a one-month loan deal is termed as 'work experience' for the youngster.
Speaking about the deal manager Paul Simpson said: "Chris has worked hard to get himself into the position where he was considered for first team duty for the games against Sunderland. We've got a few players coming back from injury and suspension and a few first team games at Accrington will be of great benefit to him."
McGrail could make his Football League debut as early as Tuesday evening when Stanley tackle Mansfield at the Frazer Eagle Stadium.
