Crouse-Hinds Copper-Free Aluminum Explosionproof Dust-Ignitionproof Reducing Bushing

Crouse-Hinds RE42-SA Explosionproof Copper-Free Aluminum Reducing Bushing

The Crouse-Hinds RE42-SA is a Copper-Free Aluminum reducing bushing engineered to transition conduit runs from a 3/4" hub down to a 1-1/4" conduit connection while maintaining explosionproof and dust-ignitionproof integrity. Built for use in hazardous location electrical systems, this bushing allows electricians to adapt between conduit sizes without sacrificing the enclosure's protective rating. Its copper-free aluminum construction makes it suitable for environments where copper content restrictions apply, and the rugged design is intended for long-term service in demanding industrial installations. As a threaded reducing bushing, the RE42-SA provides a secure, code-compliant transition point in classified raceway systems where mismatched conduit or hub sizes must be joined without compromising protection ratings.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 3/4" x 1-1/4" reducing configuration for adapting between two conduit or hub sizes on a single fitting.
• Durable Construction: Copper-Free Aluminum body resists corrosion while meeting copper-content restrictions common in hazardous or classified environments.
• Explosionproof Design: Rated Explosionproof for use in areas where ignitable gases or vapors may be present, helping contain any internal arcing or sparking.
• Dust-Ignitionproof Protection: Constructed to prevent the entry of combustible dust that could otherwise be ignited by internal electrical components.
• Reducing Bushing Function: Provides a secure mechanical transition between mismatched conduit or hub sizes, maintaining a continuous, code-compliant raceway system.
• Threaded Fitting: Designed to thread securely into compatible Crouse-Hinds enclosures and conduit systems for a tight, dependable connection.
