Bridgeport Fittings 1179 Steel Reducing Bushing, 3" to 2-1/2" Threaded Fitting

Bridgeport Fittings 1179 Steel Reducing Bushing, 3" to 2-1/2" Threaded Fitting

Bridgeport Fittings delivers professional-grade conduit hardware for electrical contractors, and this steel reducing bushing is engineered to transition rigid or IMC conduit runs from a 3" trade size down to 2-1/2" without requiring a complete fitting change-out. Manufactured from solid threaded steel, the bushing threads directly into a larger hub, box, or enclosure opening to accept smaller-diameter conduit while preserving a secure mechanical and electrical connection point. This reducing bushing helps installers adapt existing conduit runs, panelboards, and enclosures to accommodate a smaller conduit size, simplifying transitions in commercial and industrial electrical systems where mismatched trade sizes are common. Its solid steel-threaded body is built to hold up under the torque and stress of routine conduit installation and service work.

Key Features

• Trade Size Reduction: Steps conduit runs down from a 3" trade size to 2-1/2", allowing a single fitting to bridge mismatched conduit sizes.
• Durable Steel Construction: Solid steel body stands up to impact, torque, and mechanical stress encountered during installation and long-term service.
• Threaded Connection: Steel threaded design allows the bushing to engage directly into a hub, box, or enclosure opening for a secure, code-compliant fit.
• Space-Saving Transition: Eliminates the need for bulky couplings or multiple adapters when stepping down between conduit trade sizes.
• Dependable Continuity: Metal-to-metal threaded contact supports a stable, low-resistance connection point across the conduit system.
• Red Color-Coding: Finished in red for quick visual identification on the job site or in inventory bins.
• Field-Ready Design: Simple hand-tightened, threaded installation speeds up conduit size transitions without special tools.
