Technical Specifications

This conduit reducer features 2" NPT threading on the larger end transitioning to 1-1/2" NPT on the smaller end, with overall dimensions of 4.14" length, 3.42" width, and 0.9" height. The steel construction weighs 0.27 pounds, providing substantial durability while remaining manageable for installation. The reducer is specifically designed for rigid and IMC conduit systems, ensuring compatibility with standard electrical conduit installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are properly cut, deburred, and threaded to standard NPT specifications
2. Apply appropriate thread sealant or compound to male threads of both conduit sections
3. Thread the 2" conduit into the larger end of the reducer, tightening to manufacturer specifications
4. Thread the 1-1/2" conduit into the smaller end, ensuring proper engagement and seal
5. Verify grounding continuity through the connection using appropriate testing equipment
6. Support the conduit system according to NEC/CEC spacing requirements for the largest conduit size

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and distribution warehouses
• Electrical Panel Connections - Main distribution panels, sub-panels, and motor control centers
• Equipment Transitions - Connecting different sized conduit runs to electrical equipment
• Retrofit Projects - Adapting existing conduit systems to accommodate new electrical requirements
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Heavy-Duty Applications - Areas requiring maximum mechanical protection for conductors
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit systems requiring durable connections

Rigid/IMC Conduit System Benefits

Rigid and IMC conduit systems provide the highest level of mechanical protection for electrical conductors, making them ideal for industrial environments, outdoor installations, and areas where physical damage is a concern. This steel reducer maintains the system's integrity while allowing for necessary size transitions, ensuring that the protective qualities of the conduit system are preserved throughout the installation.
