Metallics IPB600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics IPB600 insulated bushing thread onto 6 inch rigid conduit?
Yes. The IPB600 is a 6 inch insulated bushing that screws directly onto threaded rigid conduit. It is made for rigid conduit ends, so you need the conduit to be threaded at the termination, not plain end or EMT with a setscrew coupling.
2) Why use an insulated bushing instead of a plain metal locknut on the end of conduit?
A plain bushing or locknut leaves a bare metal edge at the raceway end that can cut conductor insulation as wire is pulled. The IPB600 gives a smoothly rounded, insulated surface at the end of the conduit so wires are not damaged passing through. On large 6 inch runs with heavy feeders, that rounded throat is what keeps the pull from skinning the insulation.
3) Does the Metallics IPB600 bushing qualify for Buy American or ARRA funded jobs?
Yes. The IPB600 is flagged compliant for both Buy American and ARRA, and country of origin is the United States. That covers the documentation most federal, municipal and school district specs ask for on electrical fittings.
4) Is the Metallics IPB600 bushing metal or plastic?
Plastic. The IPB600 is a molded plastic insulating bushing for rigid conduit, not a metallic bushing, so it is strictly an insulating throat and carries no grounding path. Bonding has to be handled by locknuts, bonding bushings or a bonding jumper.
5) How many bushings come in a Metallics IPB600 package?
The IPB600 ships as a bag of 10 bushings, and 10 count is the minimum order quantity. The full bag weighs 3.4 lbs.
6) Is a plastic insulated bushing like the IPB600 enough on its own, or do I need a bonding bushing?
The IPB600 only insulates the raceway throat. It is plastic, so it does nothing for continuity. Where the installation requires a bonding connection at the enclosure, such as service entrance conduit, you need a metallic bonding bushing with a lay-in lug rather than this insulating type, or an insulated throat metallic bushing. Use the IPB600 where the bonding is already handled by locknuts or a hub and you just need to protect the conductors.
