Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2" to 1-1/2" Rigid/IMC Conduit Reducer, Steel

Professional-Grade Steel Construction for Seamless Conduit Size Transitions

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2" to 1-1/2" Rigid/IMC Conduit Reducer is a heavy-duty steel fitting engineered for professional electrical installations requiring reliable conduit size transitions. This precision-manufactured reducer delivers superior strength and durability for commercial and industrial electrical systems where conduit routing demands seamless connections between different trade sizes.

Key Features & Benefits

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

  • Premium Steel Material - Provides exceptional strength and impact resistance for demanding installations
  • Corrosion-Resistant Finish - Protects against environmental factors in both indoor and outdoor applications
  • Precision Threading - Ensures secure, leak-proof connections with both rigid and IMC conduit systems
  • Professional-Grade Durability - Engineered for decades of reliable service in commercial environments

Installation Efficiency

  • Standard NPT Threading - Compatible with all standard rigid and IMC conduit systems
  • Smooth Interior Profile - Minimizes wire pulling friction and prevents conductor damage
  • Compact Design - Reduces space requirements in crowded electrical installations
  • Quick Installation - Standard threading allows for fast, secure connections without special tools

Code Compliance & Safety

  • NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets all National and Canadian Electrical Code requirements
  • Grounding Continuity - Maintains electrical grounding path through the conduit system
  • Professional Certification - Manufactured to strict electrical industry standards

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.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel conduit reducers offer superior strength and durability compared to other materials, making them the preferred choice for demanding electrical installations. The steel construction provides excellent impact resistance, maintains dimensional stability under temperature variations, and ensures long-term reliability in both indoor and outdoor applications. Trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel fittings deliver the performance and dependability that contractors demand for critical electrical infrastructure projects.
