Eaton GLS6 Grounding Bushing - Rigid/IMC, Threadless
Part Number: GLS6
Quick Summary
The Eaton GLS6 grounding bushing provides a reliable connection for rigid/IMC conduits in industrial control panels. When space is tight and lug compatibility is uncertain, grounding integrity can be compromised. UL certification for Rigid-IMC grounding, NEC/CEC compliance, and suitability for ordinary/non-hazardous locations help ensure safety and code conformance. Designed with aluminum lug and threadless connection, GLS6 simplifies installation for 2 inch trade-size runs, delivering durable, code-compliant grounds that reduce field callbacks and redesign risk.

Eaton Specification Sheet - GLS6
GLS6 is engineered to fit rigid/IMC conduits with a 2 inch trade size and a built-in aluminum lug for #4-14 AWG conductors, delivering a robust ground path in demanding industrial environments. This combination of threadless design and malleable iron body reduces risk of cross-threading during installation, accelerating panel assembly and minimizing rework. The 105°C temperature rating ensures reliable performance in control panels subjected to heat-generating equipment, helping maintain electrical integrity and safety margins across your automation line. Its ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability aligns with NEC/CEC standards, simplifying compliance documentation for audits and inspections. The compact 2.75 in length and lightweight 0.26 lb mass support easier routing in crowded enclosures, lowering shipping and field handling costs while preserving mechanical strength. Overall, GLS6 supports scalable automation projects by delivering consistent grounding with fewer field callbacks and maintenance visits.

FAQs
Yes. GLS6 is designed for 2 inch trade-size rigid/IMC conduits and features a threadless connection with an aluminum lug for #4-14 AWG conductors. To install, align the conduit to the bushing, slide into position, and ensure the lug makes a solid contact with the conductor. This minimizes misalignment and simplifies retrofits in crowded panels.
GLS6 carries NEC/CEC standards compatibility and UL certification for Rigid-IMC grounding, plus suitability for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. These certifications support compliance during electrical code audits, reduce risk for safety incidents, and ensure the product meets national and cross-border regulatory requirements for industrial equipment.
Absolutely. GLS6 is specified for 2 inch trade-size rigid/IMC conduits with an aluminum lug for #4-14 AWG conductors, rated at 105°C. Its threadless design and malleable iron body make it a reliable choice for control panels and motor enclosures in ordinary locations, delivering a secure grounding path with easy installation.
GLS6 combines malleable iron body construction with an aluminum lug, supporting a 2" trade size and 2.75 in length with a 0.88 in height. It is rated to 105°C and weighs about 0.26 lb. These specs contribute to mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and stable electrical contact in typical industrial environments.
GLS6 reduces installation time with its threadless design, diminishing cross-threading issues and alignment challenges. The aluminum lug and robust body improve long-term grounding reliability, lowering maintenance calls, preventing ground faults, and supporting faster commissioning of automation projects without compromising NEC/CEC compliance.
