Quick Summary

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds GLS8 250 grounding bushing provides reliable, low-impedance grounding for rigid/IMC conduits in industrial facilities. It streamlines field installs by combining an aluminum lug, malleable iron body, and a threadless interface to reduce parts count and misalignment. This unit meets NEC/CEC requirements and UL certifications for Rigid-IMC use in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, with a 105°C rating and suitable for 250 kcmil-#6 AWG lugs. By standardizing on GLS8 250, procurement gains consistent performance and installation ease, while maintenance teams benefit from durable materials and predictable replacement cycles. The result is faster commissioning, fewer field error calls, and a robust grounding path for critical equipment.

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.

FAQs

GLS8 250 is designed specifically for rigid/IMC conduit systems with a threadless interface, enabling quick terminations and precise alignment. It pairs with aluminum lug assemblies and a malleable iron body to deliver a robust mechanical and electrical connection. This compatibility reduces the need for adapters and minimizes field rework, making it a practical choice for panel arrays, MCCs, and outdoor enclosures.
GLS8 250 accommodates a lug size of 250 kcmil to #6 AWG conductors, enabling direct termination to large service and feeder conductors. The aluminum lug reduces overall weight and simplifies torque application, while preserving a solid ground path. This makes it well-suited for high-current grounding needs in industrial installations involving 3" trade-size fittings.
Yes. The GLS8 250 is specified to meet NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for Rigid-IMC, and it is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. This ensures code-compliant installation, simplifies inspector acceptance, and supports procurement through documented compliance, reducing project risk in new builds and upgrades.
Maintenance focuses on ensuring the grounding path remains intact and free of corrosion. The aluminum lug and malleable iron body resist typical wear, but periodic inspection should confirm threadless connections remain snug and corrosion-free. Replacement is straightforward due to the modular, threadless design, which minimizes downtime and supports rapid swap-outs in field service scenarios.
GLS8 250 carries a 105°C temperature rating, enabling reliable operation in elevated ambient temperatures and exposed outdoor environments. This rating preserves grounding integrity under thermal stress, reduces insulation strain on adjacent components, and supports long-term reliability in harsh plant conditions, helping facilities maintain safe, compliant operation with fewer maintenance cycles.
