Appleton GUAX-125 Hazardous Location Junction Box

Product Description

The APPLETON GUAX-125 is a hazardous location junction box designed for use in classified electrical environments where standard enclosures are not rated for the application. It accepts a 1-1/4 inch hub connection and provides a secure, code-compliant termination and splicing point for conduit wiring systems. The enclosure is built to contain any internal ignition and prevent propagation to the surrounding atmosphere, which is the core requirement for hazardous location-rated equipment. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this box as part of conduit systems in Class I, Class II, or Division-rated areas.

This junction box is suited for industrial, commercial, and process facility installations where flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers may be present. Typical applications include petrochemical plants, grain handling facilities, paint spray areas, wastewater treatment plants, and other environments requiring NEC Article 500 compliant enclosures. The 1-1/4 inch hub size accommodates standard rigid metal conduit and IMC of the corresponding trade size, making it a direct fit for common industrial conduit runs.

Key Features

• Rated for hazardous location service in classified electrical areas
• 1-1/4 inch hub entry for standard rigid or IMC conduit
• Compact footprint at 7.2 inches long by 7.1 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall
• Suitable for wiring splice and termination applications in conduit systems
• Designed to meet NEC Article 500 hazardous location enclosure requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hazardous location junction box for use with 1-1/4 inch rigid metal conduit or IMC in NEC-classified hazardous area wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 500 and applicable local codes governing hazardous location wiring. De-energize all circuits and verify the area is clear of ignitable atmosphere before opening or working on the enclosure. Use only listed fittings and conduit of the correct trade size when making hub connections. Do not substitute non-rated conduit bodies or fittings in any classified area installation.
