Eaton Crouse-Hinds GUAW26 Conduit Outlet Box - Hazardous

Part Number: GUAW26
Manufacturer
Eaton Crouse-Hinds
Part number
GUAW26

Quick Summary

GUAW26 conduit outlet boxes from Eaton Crouse-Hinds protect electrical terminations in hazardous locations. In rugged industrial environments, unreliable enclosures cause corrosion, leaks, and noncompliance that slow production and escalate risk. This unit aligns with NEC/CEC standards and provides Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, and Class III ratings along with a NEMA 3/4/7/9 protection profile. Its compact W-shaped form, 3/4" trade size, and 3" cover opening simplify wiring access in tight spaces while supporting safe, code-compliant installations. For procurement teams, this means fewer part numbers, faster sourcing, and predictable maintenance intervals across oil, gas, chemical, and metal-processing plants.

Feature: Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers exceptional mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business Impact: This reduces maintenance cycles, replacement costs, and unplanned downtime in chemical plants, refineries, and offshore facilities where moisture, heat, and corrosive vapors are common. Application: Use GUAW26 for durable terminations in hazardous locations, delivering reliable operation, extended service life, and a lower total cost of ownership over the asset life cycle. Industry teams trust it in long-running installations. Feature: 3/4 inch trade size with a 3 inch cover opening enables standard conduit terminations and straightforward field wiring. Business Impact: Installation time is shortened; labor costs decrease; and field adjustments are minimized, supporting tighter project schedules and budget adherence. Application: Suited for small-diameter feeds and compact control cabinets where space is constrained but access must remain convenient; compatible with common conduit fittings in the Condulet family. Feature: W-shaped body and compact footprint maximize mounting options in tight panels. Business Impact: Higher panel density translates to better space utilization, fewer separate enclosures, and lower material costs. Application: Ideal for equipment rooms, junctions inside machine frames, and crowded electrical rooms in process and manufacturing environments where reliability and ease of maintenance matter. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous ratings and NEMA protection (3, 4, 7, 9). Business Impact: Enhances safety, simplifies inspections, and accelerates procurement by meeting key regulatory requirements; reduces risk of noncompliance during audits. Application: Critical for Class I/II/III locations in chemical, oil, gas, mining, and heavy industry; ensures a consistent standard across multi-site deployments. Feature: Rich documentation and compatibility with the Condulet GUA system, including IF 1730 instructions and the GUAW26 datasheet. Business Impact: Streamlines sourcing, reduces configuration errors, and supports faster installation training and onboarding for new technicians. Application: Engineers and contractors rely on these resources to plan terminations, select compatible gaskets and covers, maintain compliance through installation life cycles, and coordinate with suppliers for spares.

FAQs

GUAW26 is designed for seamless integration with the Crouse-Hinds Condulet GUA system. It uses a 3/4 inch trade size and 3 inch cover opening to support standard conduit terminations, enabling quick wiring and consistent hardware across the enclosure family. This compatibility reduces part variety and simplifies field procurement for new builds.
GUAW26 carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous location ratings Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III, along with NEMA 3/4/7/9 protection. These certifications validate safe operation in flammable or combustible atmospheres and ensure the enclosure meets regulatory requirements, easing audits and reducing risk across multi-site operations.
This conduit outlet box excels in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, mining sites, and metal-processing environments where hazardous locations exist. Its Feraloy alloy and sturdy construction provide reliable terminations under harsh exposure, aiding in safe, compliant electrical distribution in compact control cabinets and equipment housings.
Eaton provides installation sheets IF 1730 for GUA condulet outlet boxes, a dedicated GUAW26 specification sheet, and catalog pages. These resources clarify mounting, gasket, and cover selection, streamline configuration, and support training for technicians, reducing commissioning time and installation errors.
The rugged Feraloy construction and hazardous-location ratings reduce corrosion-related failures and downtime, lowering maintenance costs and extending service life. Although initial procurement may be similar to alternatives, the longer intervals between replacements and easier code-compliant inspections translate to a favorable total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
