Eaton GUAC360SA Conduit Outlet Body - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: GUAC360SA
Quick Summary
GUA conduit outlet body is a rugged solution from Eaton designed for safe terminations in hazardous locations. This copper-free aluminum, 1" trade size component addresses the common challenge of reliable explosion-resistant conduit terminations in tight spaces. Installers often struggle with heavy, corrosion-prone enclosures that slow routing and increase commissioning time; GUAC360SA minimizes handling while delivering robust performance. It carries NEC/CEC compliance with ratings for Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III, alongside UL certification. By combining a compact footprint with corrosion resistance and simple mounting, it supports faster installations, lower life-cycle costs, and safer electrical infrastructure in chemical, refining, and oil-and-gas facilities. This makes it a dependable choice for projects demanding both safety and efficiency.

Eaton Specification Sheet - GUAC360SA
Copper-free aluminum construction is a core feature of GUAC360SA, delivering strong corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments while keeping weight manageable for field crews. The 1" trade size and C-shaped body simplify terminations in restricted spaces, and the 5.5 in length, 3.5 in height, and 2.31 in width fit standard conduit layouts. Weighing roughly 2 lb, it reduces handling effort, speeds installation, and lowers hardware costs compared with heavier metal enclosures. Hazardous-location readiness is another key advantage. The design aligns with NEC/CEC standards and provides area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations, reinforced by UL certification. This combination minimizes audit questions, reduces field changes, and enables compliant terminations in chemical plants, refineries, and oil-and-gas facilities. Compact footprint supports space-constrained installations without compromising termination integrity. The enclosure enables easier routing around adjacent conduits and accessories, improving aesthetics and airflow in control panels. The modest 2 lb weight further reduces ladder and crane requirements during installation, contributing to safer and faster commissioning in rugged environments. Compatibility within the Eaton GUA family provides procurement and install-time advantages. Pairing with hanger covers and the GUA catalog simplifies part selection, while the Eaton specification sheet and catalog page speed engineering verification. In practice, this yields faster project timelines and fewer changes during field wiring in large-scale hazardous-area deployments. From a lifecycle perspective, copper-free aluminum yields lower maintenance than heavier metals in corrosive environments, improving uptime and reducing replacement costs. The GUAC360SA delivers reliable long-term performance with straightforward installation guidance and proven NEC/CEC compliance, making it a practical choice for high-stakes installations in chemical plants, refineries, and energy facilities.
