Metallics ASB3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size MC or AC cable does the Metallics ASB3 anti-short bushing fit?
The ASB3 is the 1/2 inch anti-short bushing, sized for 3-conductor armored cable. It drops into the cut end of the armor so the spiral metal edge can't bite into the conductor insulation when the cable is terminated into a connector or box.
2) Will the ASB3 bushing work with my existing MC cable connectors, or do I need special ones?
No special connector needed. An anti-short bushing is a separate insulating liner you push into the armor before you tighten the cable into a standard connector or box fitting, so the ASB3 works alongside whatever 1/2 inch MC or AC connector you're already using. It is not a connector itself, it does not clamp or secure the cable, so you still order connectors separately.
3) Are Metallics ASB3 anti-short bushings metal or plastic?
Nylon. That's what makes them work as a liner, the insulating material separates the sharp cut armor from the conductors inside. Each bushing weighs essentially nothing (the packaged bag runs 0.4 lbs).
4) Do these red heads satisfy a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a public job?
The ASB3 anti-short bushings are flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, which is what an institutional or government procurement officer needs on the submittal. Country of origin is listed as multiple.
