Crouse-Hinds RE01412 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a Crouse-Hinds RE reducer bushing in a Class I, Division 1 area?
Yes. The RE Series reducer bushing carries a Class I, Division 1 NEC hazardous rating and is built for hazardous/classified locations, so it can go into conduit runs in areas with flammable gases or vapors. It's rated to NEC/CEC standards, which covers both US and Canadian installs.
2) What conduit does a Crouse-Hinds RE reducer bushing thread into?
Rigid steel and IMC. Both ends are NPT threaded, so the bushing threads into a female NPT hub or coupling on the large side and accepts the smaller NPT conduit or fitting on the other. It is not made for EMT, which uses compression or setscrew connectors rather than threads.
3) What size reductions are available in the Crouse-Hinds RE reducer bushing?
The range runs from 1/2 inch down to 1/8 inch at the small end all the way up to 6 inch down to 5 inch. Thirty-six combinations in total, including 1/2-1/4, 1/2-3/8, 3/4-1/2, 1-1/2, 1-3/4, 1-1/4 down to 1/2, 3/4 or 1, 1-1/2 down to 1/2 through 1-1/4, 2 down to 1/2 through 1-1/2, 2-1/2 down to 1 through 2, 3 down to 1 through 2-1/2, 3-1/2 down to 2, 2-1/2 or 3, 4 down to 2, 2-1/2, 3 or 3-1/2, 5-4 and 6-5. Pick by the hub you're reducing from first, then the conduit you're landing.
4) Can I reduce a 4 inch hub straight down to 1 inch with one RE bushing?
No. On the 4 inch size the reductions offered are 4 to 2, 4 to 2-1/2, 4 to 3 and 4 to 3-1/2. To get from 4 inch to 1 inch you'd stack reducers, for example 4 to 2 then 2 to 1. Same logic on the 5 and 6 inch sizes, which only step down one trade size (5 to 4, 6 to 5).
5) What is the SA option on the Crouse-Hinds RE bushing?
SA is the copper-free aluminum version. The RE reducer bushing is offered either as standard steel or with the copper-free aluminum (SA) option. Copper-free aluminum is the usual choice where the atmosphere attacks steel, such as chemical and petrochemical process areas; the steel version is the general-purpose pick. Both are ordered from the same size chart.
6) Does a reducer bushing keep the explosionproof integrity of the enclosure?
The RE Series bushing is rated Class I, Division 1 itself and relies on NPT threads at both ends for a secure, leak-tight joint, which is what maintains the seal in a classified run. Thread engagement is what does the work here, so full wrench-tight makeup matters. It is the size-change fitting only; sealing fittings, drains and breathers are separate items on the run.
7) What is the smallest reduction the Crouse-Hinds RE bushing goes down to?
1/8 inch, in the 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch size. That is the one to reach for when landing a small instrument or gauge connection off a 1/2 inch conduit hub. The 1/2 to 1/4 and 1/2 to 3/8 sizes cover the other small-bore steps.
8) Is the RE reducer bushing acceptable for a Canadian installation?
Yes. The RE Series is built to NEC/CEC standards, so it covers Canadian Electrical Code work as well as NEC jobs in the US. Confirm the area classification on your drawing matches Class I, Division 1 or a less demanding class.
