Technical Specifications

This conduit reducer features 3" NPT threading on the larger end transitioning to 2" NPT on the smaller end, constructed from heavy-duty iron with precision machined threads. The fitting measures 5.06 inches in length, 4.05 inches in width, and 3.21 inches in height, with a total weight of 1.6 pounds. Designed specifically for rigid and IMC conduit systems, it provides reliable performance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations while maintaining full NEC/CEC compliance for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are properly cut, deburred, and threaded to standard NPT specifications
2. Apply appropriate thread compound to both the 3" and 2" conduit connections
3. Thread the 3" conduit into the larger end of the reducer, ensuring full engagement
4. Connect the 2" conduit to the smaller end, maintaining proper alignment
5. Tighten connections to manufacturer specifications using appropriate wrenches
6. Verify grounding continuity through the complete conduit run

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 and sub-panel feeder connections
• Motor Control Centers - Equipment connections requiring conduit size transitions
• Switchgear Installations - High-voltage electrical distribution systems
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Heavy-Duty Applications - Where superior strength and durability are required
• Conduit System Modifications - Retrofits and system expansions requiring size changes

Rigid/IMC Conduit System Benefits

Rigid and IMC conduit systems provide superior mechanical protection for electrical conductors compared to flexible conduit options. This iron reducer maintains the structural integrity and protective qualities of the conduit system while enabling necessary size transitions. The heavy-duty construction ensures the fitting won't become a weak point in the installation, providing the same level of protection as the connected conduit.

Why Choose Iron Construction?

Iron conduit fittings offer exceptional strength and durability for demanding electrical applications. Unlike lighter materials, iron provides superior impact resistance and maintains structural integrity under mechanical stress. The Eaton Crouse-Hinds iron construction ensures this reducer will provide decades of reliable service, making it the preferred choice for electrical contractors who demand professional-grade performance in their installations.
