Material and durability drive measurable value: Feraloy iron alloy delivers excellent strength and corrosion resistance in chemical, oil, and mining environments, reducing maintenance cycles and replacement costs while enhancing worker safety through a robust, explosion-proof design. The outcome is predictable performance in harsh conditions, helping teams meet uptime targets and regulatory expectations in hazardous locations. Shape and size efficiency: the X-shaped profile and 1/2" trade size optimize conduit routing, shrink installation time, and simplify field coordination with other GUA components, hanger covers, and enclosures. This translates to lower labor costs and faster project turnover for new builds or retrofit upgrades. Dimensions and handling: with 5.25 in length, 5.25 in height, 2 in width, and a 2.26 lb weight, installation is straightforward in tight spaces and during field maintenance, reducing ergonomic strain and minimizing freight and handling costs. Certification and compliance: NEC/CEC adherence plus hazard ratings for Class I, II, and III ensure regulatory alignment, enabling safer, audit-friendly installations while mitigating non-compliance risk for operators in chemical, petrochemical, and heavy industrial sectors. Compatibility and installation advantages: designed for Eaton Crouse-Hinds GUA explosion-proof conduit outlet boxes, GUAX160 streamlines integration with existing infrastructure and simplifies stocking, training, and maintenance programs across multiple sites.
