Eaton Specification Sheet - GUAT260 SA
Copper-free aluminum construction lowers weight and simplifies handling during installation, reducing crew fatigue and increasing site throughput. This material choice also resists corrosion and degradation in aggressive process environments, extending service life without sacrificing strength. Together, these factors translate to faster wiring terminations and a smaller total cost of ownership over the life of the enclosure. The GUAT260 SA’s 3/4\" trade size and T-shaped profile optimize routing in confined spaces typical of hazardous-location projects. Its compact dimensions—5.25 inches long, 4.38 inches high, and 2 inches wide—facilitate precise layout planning. Weighing about 1 pound, the part is easy to maneuver on crowded job sites without compromising durability. NEC/CEC conformity is specified across hazardous ratings, covering Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. UL certification is documented for the GUA explosion-proof conduit outlet family, with supporting product pages and qualification tests. Area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations ensures appropriate selection for chemical, petrochemical, and mining environments. The design works seamlessly with Eaton’s GUA ecosystem and hanger covers, simplifying field assembly and enclosure integration. Compatibility with standard 3/4\" fittings reduces the need for special adapters and accelerates project timelines. Field technicians benefit from consistent mounting patterns and predictable termination points across Eaton’s GUA lineup. Rugged yet lightweight components enable faster installation in stair-step conduit runs and multi-unit enclosures. Long-term performance is supported by corrosion resistance, reliable electrical contact, and stable mechanical fits under vibration. The result is improved process uptime, fewer maintenance actions, and measurable safety and reliability gains for hazardous-area projects. The GUAT260 SA is suited for installation teams seeking a dependable, code-compliant conduit outlet solution that minimizes risk, reduces total installed cost, and aligns with existing GUA accessories and installation practices.
