Eaton Crouse-Hinds HGLS8 30 Grounding Bushing - UL
Part Number: HGLS8 30
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds HGLS grounding bushing is designed for reliable grounding in rigid/IMC conduit installations, accepting #3/0-6 AWG conductors. Installers often struggle with vibration, heat, and moisture that loosen connections, but this threadless, set-screw design reduces maintenance and rework in harsh environments. It aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is approved for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with UL certifications for rigid-IMC applications, providing confidence across electrical panels, switchgear, and process equipment. The combination of 150°C rating, malleable iron housing, and aluminum lug supports safe, code-compliant grounding while enabling faster, error-free installations and lower lifecycle costs. Designed for engineers and procurement teams seeking compatibility, reliability, and cost efficiency.

FAQs
Yes. The HGLS8 30 is designed for rigid/IMC conduits and accepts #3/0-6 AWG conductors with an aluminum lug. It uses a threadless design with a set-screw for secure termination, making it suitable for spaces where threaded fittings are impractical. This combination simplifies installation while maintaining a solid, code-compliant ground connection in panel and MCC terminations.
Key materials include a malleable iron body and an aluminum lug. The assembly is rated for 150°C and features a threadless design with a set-screw. It is intended for 3-inch trade size conduits and uses lug sizing compatible with #3/0-6 AWG conductors, delivering durable performance in high-temperature industrial environments.
The HGLS8 30 is well-suited for factory automation, switchgear, motor control centers, and process equipment installations that use rigid/IMC conduit. Its threadless, set-screw design combined with UL and NEC/CEC compliance makes it a robust choice for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, where fast, reliable grounding is critical for uptime and safety.
This product supports NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for Rigid-IMC applications, with an area classification of Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Canadian and US compliance are addressed through UL certification listings, ensuring the bushing is suitable for standard industrial environments without hazardous classifications.
The HGLS8 30 offers lower lifecycle costs through reduced maintenance needs due to its corrosion resistance, vibration tolerance, and high-temperature stability. The threadless design minimizes installation errors and rework, improving job-site efficiency and uptime, which translates to faster project completion and long-term reliability in panel and conduit terminations.
