Technical Specifications

This insulating bushing features a 1-1/4" trade size with threaded connection for rigid and IMC conduit systems. The high-temperature plastic construction provides 105°C continuous operation rating while maintaining excellent insulation properties. Compact dimensions of 2.03" length, 1.4" width, and 1.06" height ensure minimal space requirements. The lightweight 0.03 lb design reduces installation fatigue while delivering professional-grade performance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is properly reamed and deburred to prevent wire damage
2. Thread the insulating bushing onto the conduit end by hand until snug
3. Use appropriate tools to tighten securely without over-torquing the plastic threads
4. Ensure the bushing sits flush against the mounting surface or enclosure
5. Verify smooth interior passage before pulling conductors through the system
6. Test conductor movement to confirm proper protection and smooth operation

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 Terminations - Machinery connections, control cabinets, and junction boxes
• Conduit System Transitions - Where rigid or IMC conduit enters enclosures or equipment
• High-Temperature Applications - Areas with elevated ambient temperatures up to 105°C
• Chemical Processing Areas - Environments where corrosion resistance is essential
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities

Insulating Bushing System Benefits

Insulating bushings are essential components in professional electrical installations, providing critical wire protection that prevents costly failures and safety hazards. Unlike simple conduit connections, insulated bushings create a smooth transition that protects conductor insulation from damage during installation and throughout the system's operational life. This protection is especially important in rigid and IMC conduit systems where sharp edges can compromise wire integrity.

Why Choose High-Temperature Plastic Construction?

The 105°C temperature rating and plastic construction of this Eaton Crouse-Hinds bushing provides superior performance in demanding electrical environments. Plastic offers excellent insulation properties, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability while remaining lightweight for easier installation. The threaded design ensures secure mechanical connection while the precision molding guarantees consistent quality and reliable long-term performance that electrical professionals depend on.
