Eaton GLS9 Grounding Bushing - Rigid/IMC, 105°C Rated
Part Number: GLS9
Quick Summary
Eaton GLS9 grounding bushing is designed to provide a reliable grounding path for rigid/IMC conduits in industrial electrical installations. Installers often contend with securing solid lug contact in threadless fittings, which can lead to impedance, rework, and downtime. This part carries UL certification for Rigid-IMC and Canada/US listings, along with NEC/CEC compliance, and suitability for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. By pairing an aluminum lug with a malleable iron body and a 5 in length, the GLS9 delivers durable performance while supporting fast, compliant installations. In projects demanding high-temperature operation and dependable grounding in fixed conduits, GLS9 offers reliable, cost-effective performance for engineers and procurement teams.

Feature: Threadless design simplifies assembly and reduces the risk of cross-threading or damage during installation. Business Impact: accelerates setup and lowers install-time costs while maintaining a robust, interference-free ground path. Application: ideal for rapid field installs on rigid/IMC conduit runs where space is tight and thread coupling is impractical.Feature: Aluminum lug paired with a malleable iron body provides a balanced combination of conductivity and mechanical strength. Business Impact: improves grounding reliability under vibration and thermal cycling, reducing maintenance and future rework. Application: suitable for 105°C environments in industrial enclosures and outdoor installations where durability matters.Feature: 5 in product length with a 3-1/2 in trade size and 7.3 in width creates ample clearance for clean connections. Business Impact: simplifies layout planning and cabling, enabling predictable mounting footprints. Application: supports standardized fitment in control panels and equipment racks using rigid/IMC conduits.Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification for Canada and the US provide regulatory confidence. Business Impact: ensures technical compliance and reduces risk during audits, enabling faster project approvals. Application: essential for regulated facilities, service centers, and OEM manufacturing lines.Feature: Threadless design and 1 lb weight minimize handling and improve field service efficiency. Business Impact: lowers shipping costs and eases inventory management while maintaining high-grounding integrity. Application: advantageous for mobile or modular installations where quick replacements are needed.

FAQs
GLS9 is designed for rigid/IMC conduit systems and uses a threadless lug suitable for #3/0-6 AWG conductors. The unit features a malleable iron body with an aluminum lug, providing a robust ground path suitable for 5 in length fittings in industrial installations.
GLS9 has a 5 in length, 3 in height, and 7.3 in width with a weight of 1 lb. It features a 105°C temperature rating, a threadless design, aluminum lug, and a malleable iron body, all optimized for rigid/IMC conduit applications.
Yes. GLS9 carries UL certification for both US and Canada and is compliant with NEC/CEC standards. It is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, supporting regulatory alignment in industrial facilities and electrical installations.
To optimize grounding, ensure a solid contact between the aluminum lug and the conductor, follow any manufacturer torque recommendations, use UL-listed hardware, and leverage the threadless design to minimize corrosion points and simplify future maintenance.
GLS9 reduces installation time with a straightforward threadless lug, lowers grounding impedance through a robust aluminum lug and malleable iron body, and supports regulatory compliance with UL and NEC/CEC requirements. This translates to safer installations, less downtime, and favorable total cost of ownership.
