Crouse-Hinds GUP214 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Crouse-Hinds Eaton Series GUP junction box used for?
The Series GUP junction box provides secure electrical connections in hazardous industrial environments. It features multiple 3/4-inch hub entries for flexible conduit routing. The Feraloy iron alloy construction resists corrosion in harsh conditions.
2) Is this junction box compatible with standard 3/4-inch conduit fittings?
Yes, all four hubs accept standard 3/4-inch NPT conduit fittings. The back, bottom, side, and top hub configuration provides maximum flexibility for conduit routing in tight spaces.
3) What hazardous location ratings does this box carry?
Verify specific hazardous location certifications with manufacturer documentation. Crouse-Hinds boxes typically meet Class I Division requirements for explosive atmosphere applications. Check nameplate markings for exact ratings.
4) How does Feraloy iron alloy compare to standard cast iron?
Feraloy iron alloy offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard cast iron. It withstands moisture, chemicals, and temperature cycling better. This extends service life in industrial environments.
5) What mounting hardware is required for installation?
Check manufacturer specifications for required mounting bolts and hardware. Most installations use threaded studs or bolts appropriate for the mounting surface. Ensure adequate structural support for the loaded box.
6) Can unused hubs be plugged if not all entries are needed?
Yes, unused hubs must be sealed with appropriate NPT plugs to maintain hazardous location integrity. Use explosion-proof plugs that match the box's certification ratings.
7) What gasket or sealing is recommended for the cover?
Use manufacturer-specified gaskets to maintain proper sealing. Replace gaskets during maintenance to ensure continued hazardous location protection. Damaged gaskets compromise safety certifications.
8) How do I determine proper box sizing for my application?
Calculate wire fill requirements per NEC Article 314. Allow adequate space for splices and wire bending radius. Consider future circuit additions when selecting box capacity.
9) What routine maintenance does this junction box require?
Inspect cover bolts and gaskets regularly. Clean threaded hubs and replace damaged components. Verify tight conduit connections. Check for corrosion or physical damage during scheduled maintenance.
10) Are there other hub configurations available in the GUP series?
The GUP series offers various hub sizes and configurations. Check with Crouse-Hinds products for different entry patterns and conduit sizes to match your specific routing needs.
11) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires wrenches for conduit fittings and cover bolts. Use pipe thread compound on NPT connections. Ensure proper torque specifications to maintain sealing integrity.
12) Can this box be used in outdoor applications?
Verify NEMA rating for outdoor use with manufacturer documentation. Feraloy construction provides good weather resistance. Proper gasket sealing and conduit seals prevent moisture ingress in exterior installations.
