Eaton HGLS7 grounding bushing - 150°C NEC/CEC
Part Number: HGLS7
Quick Summary
Eaton HGLS7 grounding bushing is a rugged solution for reliably grounding rigid/IMC conduit in industrial installations. It addresses the pain of inconsistent grounding and compatibility gaps that slow commissioning and increase safety risk. The part complies with NEC/CEC standards and is documented with Canadian certification listings, backed by a 150°C temperature rating for harsh environments. For engineers and procurement teams, its aluminum lug, threadless design, and set-screw type simplify field installation while maintaining robust electrical continuity. The HGLS7 supports a 2-1/2 inch trade size with a #1/0-8 AWG lug, delivering predictable performance across modular panel builds and OEM applications. This combination translates to faster projects, lower insulation wear, and better system reliability.

FAQs
To install HGLS7, insert the rigid/IMC conduit into the bushing, align the aluminum lug with the conductor, and secure using the set screw. The threadless body reduces alignment issues during assembly, speeding up installation in control panels and equipment housings while maintaining a solid ground path.
Key specs include a 2-1/2 inch trade size, lug capacity #1/0-8 AWG, aluminum lug material, malleable iron body, threadless design, 150°C temperature rating, and a set screw configuration. It is designed for rigid/IMC conduit and ordinary/non-hazardous locations under NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. HGLS7 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is documented with Canadian certification listings. This makes it suitable for cross-border projects and facilities that require UL-listed documentation for Canada, ensuring code compliance and smoother approvals.
The threadless design and set screw approach reduce alignment and fastening steps, cutting installation time on average in field runs. This translates to faster commissioning, fewer rework cycles, and improved project velocity in panel builds and equipment installations.
With a malleable iron body and aluminum lug, the HGLS7 offers robust durability and corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments. Regular visual inspections for grounding continuity and torque checks on the set screw are advised, especially in high-temperature zones, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
