Crouse-Hinds GL12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Crouse-Hinds GL bonding locknut come in?
The GL bonding locknut is offered in four trade sizes: 3/4 inch (GL12), 1 inch (GL13), 1-1/2 inch (GL15) and 4 inch (GL-20). Order by the conduit trade size you are terminating, not by the knockout size in the enclosure, since the locknut threads onto the conduit or the hub threads.
2) Will a Crouse-Hinds GL locknut work on EMT?
No. The GL is built for Rigid and IMC conduit threads, which are tapered NPT-style conduit threads. EMT is unthreaded and terminates with a set-screw or compression connector, so you would bond that connector instead with a grounding bushing or bonding wedge rather than a GL locknut.
3) What is the difference between a bonding locknut and a standard conduit locknut?
A standard locknut just holds the conduit mechanically in the box. The Crouse-Hinds GL is a bonding locknut, so it is made to bite through enclosure coating and keep the equipment grounding path continuous through the conduit-to-enclosure joint as well as hold the connection tight. Use it where you need the raceway itself to carry ground continuity at panelboards, load centers and boxes.
4) Can I use one GL part number across all the conduit sizes on my job?
No, bonding locknuts are size specific. A single job with 3/4 inch homeruns and a 4 inch service feeder needs GL12 for the 3/4 inch and GL-20 for the 4 inch, with GL13 and GL15 covering 1 inch and 1-1/2 inch. Buyers standardizing a facility usually stock all four so the grounding detail stays the same on every termination.
5) Do I still need a grounding bushing if I use a GL bonding locknut?
It depends on the termination. The GL bonds the conduit to the enclosure wall and gives you a point to land a bonding jumper at panelboards, boxes and load centers. Where your design calls for a bonding jumper off the conduit end on the inside, or where you need thread protection on the conductors at a large raceway, an insulated grounding bushing is the companion part. Many installers run the GL on the outside and a bushing on the inside of the same 4 inch entry.
6) Is the Crouse-Hinds GL locknut steel or malleable iron?
Steel. That matters if your spec calls for a steel bonding locknut on a rigid or IMC run, and it means you should keep an eye on dissimilar-metal contact where it lands against aluminum enclosures or fittings.
