Metallics ASB6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size MC or AC cable does the Metallics ASB6 anti-short bushing fit?
The ASB6 is the 1-1/4 inch anti-short bushing in the Metallics line. It drops into the cut end of armored cable of that trade size to cover the sharp spiral edges before the conductors pass through the connector. If your cable is a smaller trade size, you need the matching smaller bushing instead, since an oversized bushing will not seat in the armor.
2) What does an anti-short bushing actually do, and is it required?
An anti-short bushing, sometimes called a red head, is a small insulating sleeve pushed between the conductors and the cut end of the spiral armor on AC cable so the sharp edge cannot abrade the insulation. Inspectors on AC (armored cable) installs commonly look for one at every termination, and with AC cable it is required. The Metallics ASB6 covers the 1-1/4 inch size.
3) What is the Metallics ASB6 bushing made of?
Nylon. That is what makes it suitable as an insulating liner at the cut end of armored cable, protecting conductor insulation from the cut spiral armor rather than carrying any mechanical load.
4) How many anti-short bushings come in a bag of Metallics ASB6?
They ship as a bag of 10, and 10 count is also the order minimum, so the smallest quantity you can buy is one bag.
5) Do anti-short bushings qualify for Buy American on a federally funded job?
The Metallics ASB6 is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant in the manufacturer data, which is what procurement on federal and federally assisted work typically asks for. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your spec requires a single named origin, that is worth confirming with the submittal package.
6) How much does a bag of Metallics ASB6 bushings weigh for shipping?
0.46 lbs per bag, packed at 4 x 3 x 4 inches. Light enough to add to a parts order without affecting freight.
