Metallics IPB500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Metallics IPB500 insulated bushing fit?
The IPB500 is the 5 inch size, so it threads onto 5 inch rigid conduit. It screws directly onto the threaded conduit end, no adapter needed. If you are running a different trade size you need the matching bushing size instead, since each bushing is size specific.
2) Can I use a plastic insulated bushing on EMT, or is it only for rigid conduit?
Metallics specifies this plastic bushing for rigid conduit. It threads on, and EMT isn't threaded, so for EMT you'd be looking at a connector with an insulated throat rather than a screw-on bushing.
3) Do these insulated bushings meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a federal or public project?
Yes. Metallics lists the IPB500 as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin United States. That makes it usable where a government, school, or federally funded job specifies domestic material.
4) What does an insulated bushing on the end of a conduit actually do?
It caps the cut, threaded end of the raceway with a smoothly rounded plastic lip so conductors aren't abraded as they are pulled through or as they move in service. On large conduit like 5 inch, where the pull tension and conductor weight are high, that rounded throat is what keeps the insulation intact at the box entry.
5) Are Metallics IPB500 bushings sold individually or by the bag?
They come as a bag of 10, and 10 pieces is the order minimum. Plan quantities in multiples of 10 rather than per fitting.
6) Is the Metallics IPB500 bushing metal or plastic?
Plastic. That is what makes the throat non-conductive and smooth against the conductors. If your spec calls for a metallic insulated bushing or a grounding bushing with a lug, this is not that part.
7) How heavy is a bag of 10 Metallics 5 inch insulated bushings?
A bag runs 2.8 lbs, with package dimensions given as 5 x 10 x 8 inches. Light enough to carry a few bags up a lift without a second trip.
