Eaton GLS8 Grounding Bushing - Rigid/IMC, 105°C
Part Number: GLS8
Quick Summary
GLS8 grounding bushing provides secure bonding for rigid/IMC conduits in electrical enclosures. Integrators often face downtime and higher costs from mismatched fittings or slow installations, making field retrofits expensive. This GLS8 meets NEC/CEC standards and carries UL Canada certifications for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, along with a 105°C rating and a durable aluminum lug. Built with malleable iron for rugged service and a threadless connection, it reduces installation complexity while delivering consistent electrical continuity. The result is faster, code-compliant installs and measurable reductions in maintenance, inventory complexity, and total cost of ownership in demanding industrial environments.

Rugged metal body and aluminum lug: GLS8 uses malleable iron for a durable housing and a corrosion-resistant aluminum lug, delivering dependable grounding even in vibration-heavy environments. This translates to longer service life, lower replacement costs, and reduced maintenance windows in critical panels and enclosures. Threadless, quick-connect design: The absence of threads speeds up installation, minimizes cross-threading risk, and lowers field rework. It’s particularly valuable for high-volume builds and retrofit projects where timing matters. Conduit compatibility: With rigid/IMC compatibility, GLS8 reduces the need for adapters and simplifies procurement, trimming project lead times and inventory costs. Electrical specs and footprint: A 3 in trade size, #1/0-8 AWG lug range, 105°C rating, aluminum lug, malleable iron body, and a compact 4x4x1 in footprint (0.7 lb) enable robust grounding for large feeders in tight spaces. Compliance and certification: NEC/CEC alignment and Canadian certification listings improve regulatory confidence, simplify audits, and support North American deployments in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Dimensions and integration: Its compact dimensions and lightweight build ease panel stacking and retrofit planning, contributing to faster installations and lower lifecycle costs across automation and power distribution projects.

FAQs
GLS8 is designed for a quick, threadless installation on rigid/IMC conduits. To install, place the bushing over the grounding conductor within the enclosure, seat the conductor into the aluminum lug for #1/0-8 AWG, and complete the grounding connection per your panel’s requirements. The absence of threads eliminates cross-thread risk and reduces field rework while meeting NEC/CEC guidelines.
Key specs for GLS8 include a 3 in trade size, lug range #1/0-8 AWG, aluminum lug, malleable iron body, threadless connection, and 105°C rating. It supports rigid/IMC conduit and provides dimensions of approximately 4 in length by 4 in width by 1 in height, with a weight around 0.7 lb for easy handling. It also carries UPC 784564112439 for traceability and aligns with NEC/CEC compliance.
Yes. GLS8 is designed to NEC/CEC compliant, supporting ordinary/non-hazardous locations, and UL Canada certification listings back the product for Canadian applications. This dual-certification approach helps simplify procurement and ensures grounding bushings meet regional electrical codes and standards across North American facilities. Design support further reduces audit and qualification efforts during installs.
Control panels, motor control centers, and industrial enclosures in ordinary-location environments benefit most. The 3 in trade size and 4x4x1 inch footprint fit compact spaces while maintaining a robust ground path with the aluminum lug and malleable iron body. Its compatibility with rigid/IMC conduit simplifies stocking and spares planning, improving overall project timelines and field install reliability.
GLS8 reduces total ownership costs through longer service life and fewer grounding-related defects. Its threadless design minimizes installation errors, while the durable malleable iron body and aluminum lug resist vibration and corrosion, lowering inspection frequency. In high-volume projects, faster installs translate to shorter schedules, smaller labor budgets, and better overall capital efficiency.
