Overview

The ABB GUAX59-G is an X-shaped PVC double-coated conduit outlet box engineered for hazardous locations. This robust enclosure features a ductile iron body with zinc plating for superior structural integrity and corrosion resistance, paired with a die-cast aluminum cover for secure sealing and easy access. Designed for 1-1/2 inch (41 metric) pipe size, the GUAX59-G includes a 5.00 inch (127.00 mm) cover opening to simplify wiring and maintenance in demanding environments. Key features include a PVC double-coating that enhances protection against corrosive elements common in industrial settings, making it ideal for explosive atmospheres or areas with high chemical exposure. The box meets stringent industry standards, including UL514A (wet locations with gasketed covers), UL886, and CSA C22.2 No. It also carries NEMA ratings of 3, 4, 7 CD, and 9 EFG, ensuring explosion-proof, dust-ignition-proof, and rain-tight performance. The GUAX59-G is part of the GUA series, which provides junction points for wire pulling, splices, and directional changes in rigid conduit systems. Each hub includes a minimum of five full threads and an integral bushing, while the cover is supplied with an O-ring gasket for enhanced sealing. The internal grounding screw ensures proper electrical continuity, and the zinc-plated body with aluminum acrylic paint finish delivers long-lasting durability. Applications include mounting fixture outlets (with appropriate covers), providing access to wiring, and protecting wires in rigid conduit systems. The gray PVC double-coating and natural aluminum cover finish ensure compatibility with hazardous location requirements while maintaining operational continuity in critical settings.
