Professional Features & Benefits
Precision Engineering
- Schedule 40 Construction - Heavy-duty wall thickness provides maximum durability and impact resistance for demanding electrical installations
- Male to Female Design - Threaded male end connects to 4-inch female fittings while female end accepts 2-inch male conduit connections
- Precision Threading - Machine-cut threads ensure tight, secure connections that prevent moisture infiltration and maintain system integrity
- Gray PVC Material - UV-resistant formulation maintains structural integrity in both indoor and outdoor electrical applications
Code Compliance & Safety
- NEC Compliant Design - Meets National Electrical Code requirements for conduit fitting applications and electrical system installations
- Corrosion Resistance - Non-metallic PVC construction eliminates rust and corrosion concerns in wet or chemical environments
- Flame Retardant Properties - Self-extinguishing material provides enhanced fire safety in electrical conduit systems
Technical Specifications
4-inch male x 2-inch female configuration, Schedule 40 PVC construction, gray finish for professional appearance, threaded connections on both ends, suitable for rigid PVC conduit systems, temperature rating suitable for standard electrical applications, corrosion-resistant non-metallic material.
Installation Process
- Verify conduit end cuts are square and deburred for proper threading engagement and leak-free connections
- Apply approved PVC primer to male threads and female hub interior surfaces for optimal bonding preparation
- Thread male end into 4-inch female fitting hand-tight, then wrench-tighten additional quarter turn for secure connection
- Insert 2-inch male conduit into female end and hand-tighten, ensuring full thread engagement for maximum holding strength
- Check alignment of connected conduit runs to prevent stress on reducer bushing and maintain proper conduit support
- Verify all connections are secure and properly sealed before energizing electrical circuits or completing installation
Professional Applications
Ideal for:
- Conduit Size Transitions - Reducing 4-inch conduit runs to 2-inch branch circuits in commercial and industrial electrical systems
- Panel Feed Reductions - Stepping down main conduit sizes to smaller distribution conduits in electrical panel installations
- Equipment Connections - Connecting large conduit runs to smaller equipment entry points and junction boxes
- Branch Circuit Applications - Creating smaller conduit branches from main conduit runs in complex electrical distribution systems
- Retrofit Installations - Adapting existing 4-inch conduit systems to accommodate 2-inch conduit additions or modifications
- Underground Electrical - Size reduction in buried conduit systems where different wire bundle sizes require different conduit diameters
- Commercial Wiring - Large building electrical systems requiring multiple conduit sizes for efficient wire management
- Industrial Applications - Heavy-duty electrical installations where robust conduit fittings ensure long-term system reliability
PVC Schedule 40 Advantage
Carlon PVC Schedule 40 reducer bushings provide superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to metallic alternatives, offering excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and dimensional consistency. The non-conductive properties eliminate grounding concerns while the smooth interior finish reduces wire pulling friction, making installation faster and protecting conductor insulation during wire installation.
