Eaton Specification Sheet - GLS7
GLS7 uses a threadless design with an aluminum lug and malleable iron body, enabling quick terminations and fewer threaded components. This reduces installation time, cuts labor costs, and minimizes torque-related issues on site. It is well suited for rigid/IMC conduit terminations in control panels, machine frames, and assembly lines. Threadless GLS7 design with aluminum lug and malleable iron body improves corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability, delivering consistent grounding in harsh environments. The trade size of 2-1/2 inches and lug size of #1/0-8 AWG cover a wide conductor range, simplifying stocking and configuration. This flexibility lowers total cost of ownership while supporting panel feeders and large machines that demand versatile grounding options. The 105°C rating combined with NEC/CEC compliance ensures safe operation in high-temperature plants and non-hazardous locations, reducing maintenance and compliance risk. Material combination of aluminum lug and malleable iron body enhances durability in demanding industrial settings, with access to 3D CAD drawings and catalog pages aiding rapid design integration. Installation is further simplified by compatibility with standard rigid/IMC fittings, enabling quick field upgrades and retrofits without costly rework.
