Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size insulating bushing features threaded installation for secure attachment to rigid and IMC conduit systems. The high-temperature plastic construction provides 105°C continuous operation rating while maintaining excellent dielectric properties. Compact dimensions of 4.14" length, 1.4" width, and 1.06" height ensure compatibility with standard electrical enclosures and junction boxes. At just 0.04 pounds, the lightweight design simplifies installation while providing 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 2" rigid or IMC conduit end
3. Hand-tighten the bushing until it seats properly against the enclosure wall
4. Ensure the insulated throat is properly positioned to protect all conductors
5. Verify adequate clearance for wire bending radius per NEC/CEC requirements
6. Complete conductor installation through the protected bushing opening

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial electrical systems - Office buildings, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial installations - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy-duty electrical distribution
• Panel and switchgear connections - Motor control centers, distribution panels, and electrical equipment
• Conduit terminations - Junction boxes, pull boxes, and electrical enclosures
• High-temperature environments - Mechanical rooms, boiler areas, and equipment spaces
• Code-required installations - Any rigid or IMC conduit termination requiring conductor protection
• Maintenance and retrofit projects - Upgrading existing installations to current code standards
• Municipal infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities

Insulating Bushing System Benefits

Insulating bushings are essential components in professional electrical installations, providing critical conductor protection that metallic conduit systems cannot offer alone. Unlike simple conduit connections, insulating bushings create a protective barrier that prevents wire insulation damage during installation and service. This protection is especially important in larger trade sizes where conductor weight and installation forces can cause significant wear against conduit edges.

Why Choose High-Temperature Plastic Construction?

The 105°C temperature rating of this Eaton Crouse-Hinds insulating bushing provides superior performance in demanding electrical environments where standard materials might fail. High-temperature plastic construction offers excellent dielectric properties, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental factors while maintaining the lightweight, non-conductive characteristics essential for safe electrical installations. This combination of thermal performance and electrical safety makes it the preferred choice for professional contractors working on commercial and industrial projects.
