Metallics IPB50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics IPB50 insulated bushing thread onto 1/2 inch rigid conduit?
Yes. The IPB50 is a 1/2 inch insulated plastic bushing made for rigid conduit, and it screws directly onto the threaded conduit end. No adapter or locknut change is needed as long as the conduit end is threaded.
2) Do these bushings meet Buy American requirements for a government or institutional job?
Yes. The IPB50 is flagged compliant for both ARRA and Buy American, and the country of origin is the United States. That covers the documentation most federal, school district, and municipal specs ask for on fittings.
3) Can I use the IPB50 on EMT instead of rigid conduit?
The IPB50 is specified for rigid conduit and threads onto a threaded conduit end. Plain EMT is not threaded, so the bushing has nothing to screw onto unless the EMT terminates in a threaded connector or coupling. For bare EMT ends, use an insulated throat connector instead.
4) What does an insulated bushing actually do at the end of a conduit run?
It caps the threaded conduit end with a smoothly rounded plastic surface so conductors are not cut or abraded on the raw metal thread as they are pulled through. On a run terminating in a box, cabinet, or pull point, that rounded lip is what keeps the wire insulation intact.
5) Is the Metallics IPB50 metal or plastic, and does that matter for the install?
Plastic. That is the point of the part, the nonmetallic body is what gives you the insulated, rounded throat against the conductors. If your spec calls for a metallic insulated throat bushing or a grounding bushing with a lug, this is not that part and you need a different fitting.
6) How much does a jar of 50 Metallics IPB50 bushings weigh and how big is the container?
The packaged weight is 0.38 lbs, and the jar measures 10 x 8 x 1 inches. Light enough that stocking several sizes on the truck costs you nothing in payload.
