Thomas & Betts Expands its T&B® Fittings Line of Explosion-Proof Fittings with GUP Explosion-Proof Enclosure

“This is a four-inch square box to join multiple rigid conduits in environments where there is an explosion hazard,” said Craig Yoss, senior product manager for Thomas & Betts Industrial Products Group. “Its compact design also makes it an ideal space saver in tight spaces, such as gas station pumps.”

The GUP Explosion-Proof Enclosure is available in two configurations: GUP214-TB features 10 3/4-inch NPT hubs with seven conduit plugs, and GUP215-TB features six 3/4-inch NPT hubs with three conduit plugs. Both have two hubs on the top and bottom, and one hub on each side. GUP214-TB also includes four hubs in the back.

The GUP Explosion-Proof Enclosure also features a neoprene O-ring gasket for rain-tight applications. The body is constructed of electro-galvanized ductile iron finished in aluminum acrylic paint, and the cover is constructed of copper-free A6 aluminum.
The enclosure is certified Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C and D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F and G; Class III rated; UL886 listed; and CSA Standard C22.2.
