The ABB GUAX24-B is a PVC double-coated X-shape conduit outlet box designed for hazardous locations, part of the GUAX series. This outlet box features a ductile iron body with zinc plating and a die-cast aluminum cover, providing robust protection in demanding industrial environments. The 3/4-inch (21 metric) pipe size accommodates standard conduit systems, while the 2.00-inch (50.80 mm) cover opening ensures easy access for wiring, maintenance, and splices. The light blue color enhances visibility in complex industrial settings, and the double PVC coating delivers superior resistance to harsh chemicals and environmental factors. Engineered for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III hazardous locations, the GUAX24-B meets stringent safety standards. The zinc-plated ductile iron body and die-cast aluminum cover combine durability with corrosion resistance, making it ideal for refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other explosive atmosphere environments. Key features include precision NPT threaded hubs for trouble-free conduit installation, an internal grounding screw for safety, and a cover supplied with an O-ring gasket for secure sealing. The box's X-shape design facilitates directional changes in conduit runs and provides a junction for wire pulling and splices. With a compact footprint and heavy-duty construction, the GUAX24-B is a reliable solution for maintaining safe electrical pathways in hazardous areas.
