Eaton Specification Sheet - GUAT160
Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers rugged mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance in dusty, damp, or chemically aggressive environments. The business impact is longer service life and reduced maintenance cycles, which translates to lower lifecycle costs on hazardous-location projects. In practice, technicians can rely on a single enclosure component across multiple shifts with minimal protective coatings or rework required. The 1/2" trade size, coupled with a compact T‑shaped design, enables tighter fits in crowded control panels and simplified routing of conduit, reducing installation time and space requirements. This contributes to faster project handover and improved worker productivity on busy plant floors. With NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification, process engineers gain confidence in regulatory alignment, while procurement enjoys consistent sourcing and reduced risk of nonconforming parts. The GUAT160 also integrates smoothly with the broader GUA family, ensuring compatibility with standard accessories and minimizing spare part inventories. A rugged housing and predictable performance help facilities lower maintenance costs and extend asset life in mission-critical applications.
