• High-Temperature Rating - Suitable for applications up to 105°C (221°F)
• 2-1/2" Trade Size - Designed for large rigid and IMC conduit systems
• Professional Grade Material - Engineered plastic construction for long-term reliability

Installation & Safety Benefits

• Threaded Installation - Secure attachment to conduit end threads
• Code Compliance - Meets NEC/CEC requirements for conductor protection
• Electrical Isolation - Prevents conductor contact with metal conduit edges
• Professional Installation - Essential component for safe electrical terminations

Technical Specifications

This professional bushing accommodates 2-1/2" rigid metal conduit (RMC) and IMC with insulated plastic construction rated for 105°C operation. Threaded design ensures secure attachment while providing essential conductor protection from sharp conduit edges. Meets NEC/CEC requirements for insulating bushings in electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Ensure conduit end is properly reamed and deburred
2. Thread insulating bushing onto conduit end threads
3. Tighten bushing to secure fit without over-torquing plastic threads
4. Verify bushing extends properly beyond conduit end
5. Install conductors ensuring no contact with metal edges
6. Complete termination per NEC/CEC requirements

Applications

Essential for:

• Electrical Panel Terminations - Protecting conductors entering panels and enclosures
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical equipment
• High-Temperature Applications - Installations requiring 105°C rating capability
• Code Compliance Projects - Meeting NEC/CEC insulating bushing requirements
• Industrial Installations - Heavy-duty applications with large conductor counts
• Commercial Buildings - Professional electrical systems requiring conductor protection

Insulating Bushing Requirements

NEC/CEC requires insulating bushings where conductors size 4 AWG or larger enter enclosures, protecting against conductor damage from sharp metal edges. Proper bushing installation prevents conductor insulation damage, reduces fire hazards, ensures code compliance, and maintains system reliability in professional electrical installations.
