Technical Specifications

This grounding bushing features a 2-inch trade size designed for rigid and IMC conduit applications. The malleable iron construction provides superior strength compared to standard steel fittings, while the aluminum grounding lug accommodates #4-14 AWG grounding conductors. The threadless design eliminates the need for conduit threading, reducing installation time and labor costs. With a 105°C temperature rating and NEC/CEC compliance, this bushing meets the demanding requirements of professional electrical installations in ordinary locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is cut square and deburred for proper bushing fit
2. Slide grounding bushing over conduit end until fully seated against enclosure wall
3. Ensure bushing sits flush with enclosure knockout for proper grounding continuity
4. Strip grounding conductor to appropriate length per manufacturer specifications
5. Insert grounding conductor into aluminum lug and tighten securely
6. Verify tight mechanical and electrical connection before energizing system

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial installations
• Equipment Grounding - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Terminations - Rigid and IMC conduit entries into electrical enclosures
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facility electrical systems
• Data Centers - Critical facility electrical installations requiring reliable grounding
• Healthcare Facilities - Hospital and medical facility electrical systems with stringent safety requirements
• Agricultural Systems - Farm and agricultural facility electrical installations

Grounding Bushing System Benefits

Grounding bushings provide essential electrical safety by ensuring proper equipment grounding continuity where conduit enters electrical enclosures. Unlike standard locknuts that may lose grounding effectiveness over time due to corrosion or loosening, grounding bushings with dedicated grounding lugs maintain reliable grounding connections throughout the system's service life. The threadless design eliminates potential threading issues while providing faster installation compared to threaded alternatives.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers superior strength and durability compared to standard steel electrical fittings, making it the preferred choice for demanding commercial and industrial applications. This material provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and impact while maintaining dimensional stability over decades of service. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this grounding bushing delivers the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand for critical installations.
