Eaton Specification Sheet - GUAG8885
Feature → The GUAG8885 employs three hubs with 1 inch bottom and 1 inch top hubs, allowing versatile wiring within a single enclosure. Business Impact → This reduces the number of enclosures, shortens wiring runs, and speeds field termination processes, improving project throughput. Application → Ideal for chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and other process environments where space is limited and reliable joint sealing is critical. Feature → Feraloy iron alloy enclosure provides rugged strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business Impact → Longer service life, lower maintenance costs, and fewer unscheduled outages. Application → Suitable for outdoor installations, washdowns, and areas with aggressive chemicals. Feature → NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings (Class I Div 1/2, Class II Div 1/2, Class III). Business Impact → Streamlines safety approvals, simplifies procurement, and reduces engineering rework. Application → Supports safety-critical installations in refineries, chemical plants, and petrochemical facilities. Feature → Compact dimensions (4.5 in L × 8.9 in H × 4.4 in W) and a weight of 5.6 lb for easier handling. Business Impact → Easier installation in tight electrical rooms and on equipment skids, decreasing labor time. Application → Fitting for panel backs, instrument enclosures, and space-constrained control cabinets. Feature → Union hub compatibility and standardized hub sizes enable rapid configuration and terminations. Business Impact → Lowers commissioning time, enables flexible conduit routing, and reduces field modification costs. Application → Suitable for retrofit projects and new builds in hazardous locations. Feature → Cataloged alongside GUA explosionproof boxes and UL-certified for hazardous environments. Business Impact → Improves procurement traceability and ensures regulatory alignment across global sites. Application → Appropriate for multi-site deployments in oil, gas, chemical, and mining operations.

FAQs
Start by selecting approved conduit and gaskets compatible with union hubs, then mount the enclosure to a clean, level surface. Thread and seal hubs according to the manufacturer’s torque specs, connect conductors with appropriate connectors, and tighten union hubs to ensure a gas- and dust-tight seal. Verify grounding per NEC/CEC and perform a final visual and continuity check before energizing.
Key specs include three hubs with 1 inch bottom and top hubs, a 4.5 in L x 8.9 in H x 4.4 in W enclosure, and a 5.6 lb weight. Made from Feraloy iron alloy, it is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for hazardous locations (Class I, II, III Divisions 1 and 2). UPC 782274464404 helps with part traceability and procurement.
Yes. The GUAG8885 carries NEC hazardous ratings for Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III, aligning with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous/classified locations. This makes it appropriate for oil and gas, chemical processing, and other high-risk industrial environments.
The enclosure complies with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations and is listed for use in classed environments. It is also documented in UL certification materials for GUA/GUAG explosionproof junction boxes, ensuring regulatory alignment and reliable field performance across regulated sites.
The rugged Feraloy body reduces corrosion-related maintenance, extending service life in tough environments. Its three-hub configuration and union-hub compatibility speed terminations, lowering installation and commissioning time. Overall, this translates to lower lifecycle costs, reduced downtime, and higher plant availability in hazardous-area facilities.
