Metallics ASB5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are Metallics ASB5 anti-short bushings used for?
Anti-short bushings (also called red heads) go into the cut end of armored cable before it enters a connector or box. The nylon sleeve lines the inside of the armor so the cut spiral edge can't bite into the conductor insulation and short to the metal jacket. The ASB5 is Metallics' nylon anti-short bushing, sold in a bag.
2) How many Metallics ASB5 bushings come in a bag, and is there an order minimum?
The ASB5 ships as a bag with a minimum order quantity of 16 count. If you're terminating a run of armored cable, figure one bushing per cable end, so a single bag covers eight two-ended drops.
3) Are Metallics ASB5 bushings Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government or institutional job?
The ASB5 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your spec requires a single documented origin country, confirm the origin on the lot you receive before it goes in the submittal package.
4) What is the exact part number to order Metallics anti-short bushings?
Order by MPN ASB5, brand Metallics. One model, no finish or size options to specify.
5) What is the shipping weight and package size of a bag of Metallics ASB5 bushings?
A bag of ASB5 bushings weighs 0.62 lbs and the package measures 4 x 4 x 3 inches. Light enough to keep several bags on the van without thinking about it.
