Eaton Crouse-Hinds GLS8 250 Grounding Bushing - 105°C

Threadless design simplifies field termination by eliminating threaded connectors, allowing quick insertion into rigid/IMC conduits and mating hardware. This reduces alignment errors and minimizes field reworks, translating to faster commissioning and lower labor costs. In practice, technicians appreciate the consistent engagement and predictable bolt-up across different fittings, especially in tight enclosures or crowded panels. Aluminum lug construction delivers a lightweight, corrosion-resistant grounding path that’s easier to handle in cramped installations. The lug material also reduces overall weight of the assembly and lowers torque requirements during terminations, which speeds up service and minimizes tool wear. It’s well suited for 250 kcmil-#6 AWG conductors in industrial control panels and outdoor enclosures. 105°C temperature rating ensures reliable performance in elevated ambient temperatures and near heat sources common in industrial plants. This rating helps maintain grounding path integrity during peak load, reduces insulation stress on adjacent components, and supports long-term reliability in demanding environments. Use in environments where equipment faces occasional thermal spikes or sun exposure without compromising safety. Malleable iron body provides rugged mechanical strength and consistent tolerances for a reliable fit in standard conduits. The material’s ductility absorbs vibrations and mechanical shocks common in industrial settings, reducing the risk of loosening over time. This combination supports stable grounding paths across service cycles and simplifies replacement if a component wears. Compliance and certifications are built in, with NEC/CEC standards alignment, UL certification for Rigid-IMC, and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous location classification. This reduces the need for alternate components and streamlines procurement and QA. For panel assemblies, MCCs, and outdoor enclosures, GLS8 250 delivers a documented path to compliance while preserving grounding integrity. Code compliance and certifications are embedded, making this bushing a solid choice for mission-critical installations in heavy industries.
