Eaton Crouse-Hinds HGLS8 Grounding Bushing - 150°C
Part Number: HGLS8C
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds HGLS8 grounding bushing is designed to terminate rigid/IMC conduit for #1/0-8 AWG aluminum conductors. Installers often face alignment challenges with threadless fittings, which can lead to cross-threading or longer commissioning times in harsh environments. This model delivers NEC/CEC compliance and UL listings for rigid-IMC installations, with a 150°C rating and a durable malleable iron body. Its aluminum lug combines light weight with solid conductivity, supporting reliable ground paths in demanding industrial settings. By pairing a compact 3" trade size with a robust lug design, the HGLS8 reduces installation complexity and lifecycle costs while promoting safe, compliant grounding in electrical panels and equipment enclosures.
