Thomas & Betts 1261 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Thomas & Betts 1261 reducer adapt?
The 1261 reduces 1 inch to 1/2 inch, with female threads. Use it where a 1 inch threaded hub or fitting has to accept 1/2 inch rigid or IMC conduit instead of running the larger size through.
2) Can I use the 1261 female reducer with EMT?
Not directly. The 1261 is a threaded female reducer, so both sides mate to NPT threads, which means rigid or IMC conduit or a threaded hub. EMT has no threads, so you would need a threaded EMT connector or coupling ahead of it to pick up the thread.
3) Is the Thomas & Betts 1261 reducer steel or iron?
Malleable iron. That is the standard body material for threaded rigid and IMC conduit fittings, so it pairs with the same rigid metal conduit system rather than with EMT set screw or compression fittings.
4) What is the difference between a female reducer and a reducing bushing for conduit?
A female reducer like the Thomas & Betts 1261 is threaded female on both the 1 inch and the 1/2 inch side, so it sits between two male-threaded ends, for example a conduit nipple into a larger threaded conduit run. A reducing washer or bushing instead fills an oversized knockout in a box or enclosure wall. If you are stepping down a threaded conduit run itself, the female reducer is the part; if you are closing down a punched hole in sheet metal, it is not.
5) How do I order the Thomas & Betts 1 inch to 1/2 inch female conduit reducer?
