Steel City BU501-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Steel City BU501-2 bushing metal or plastic?
Plastic (nonmetallic). That's what makes it an insulating bushing: the throat protects conductor insulation where wire exits the conduit. Because the body is nonmetallic, it does not carry the equipment grounding path, so bonding still has to be handled by the raceway, a bonding bushing, or a bonding jumper.
2) Do I need an insulated bushing on 1/2 inch rigid conduit entering a panel?
A bushing goes on the conduit end where conductors emerge so the cut thread edge can't cut insulation. The BU501-2 is the 1/2 inch nonmetallic insulated version for rigid and IMC. Where your inspector also wants a grounding or bonding means at that entry, a plastic bushing alone won't satisfy it, since this one is plastic bodied.
3) How many bushings come in a bag of Steel City BU501-2?
They're packed 2 per bag. If you're bushing both ends of a run, one bag covers a single length of 1/2 inch conduit. For a panel with a dozen 1/2 inch penetrations, order accordingly.
4) What is the Steel City part number for a 1/2 inch nonmetallic insulated conduit bushing?
BU501-2 is the Steel City catalog number: 1/2 inch, rigid/IMC, nonmetallic insulated, two to a bag.
