Technical Specifications

This conduit reducer features 2" NPT threading on the large end transitioning to 3/4" NPT on the reduced end, accommodating rigid and IMC conduit systems. The Feraloy iron alloy construction provides superior mechanical properties compared to standard malleable iron, with enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The fitting measures 2.38" in height and length with a 1" width, weighing 0.85 pounds for substantial durability. Class I, Division 1 hazardous location rating ensures safe operation in explosive atmospheres, while NEC/CEC compliance guarantees code-compliant installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit ends are cut square and deburred to prevent thread damage and ensure proper seating
2. Apply appropriate thread compound to male conduit threads for weather-tight seal and corrosion protection
3. Thread 2" conduit into the large end of reducer, tightening to manufacturer specifications
4. Install 3/4" conduit or fitting to the reduced end, ensuring full thread engagement
5. Verify all connections are properly tightened and sealed for hazardous location requirements
6. Test system continuity and grounding path integrity before energizing circuits

Applications

Perfect for:

• Petrochemical Facilities - Refineries, chemical processing plants, and fuel storage areas
• Manufacturing Plants - Paint booths, solvent handling areas, and industrial processing equipment
• Hazardous Location Panels - Motor control centers and distribution equipment in classified areas
• Offshore Installations - Marine platforms, drilling rigs, and coastal industrial facilities
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - Clean rooms and controlled atmosphere production environments
• Food Processing Plants - Areas with flammable dust or vapor concentrations
• Aircraft Hangars - Fuel handling and maintenance areas requiring explosion-proof equipment
• Grain Handling Facilities - Elevators, mills, and storage areas with combustible dust hazards

Conduit Reducer System Benefits

Conduit reducers provide essential flexibility in electrical system design by allowing smooth transitions between different conduit sizes within the same run. This eliminates the need for separate junction boxes or complex routing solutions, reducing installation time and material costs while maintaining system integrity. The ability to step down from larger feeder conduits to smaller branch circuits creates more efficient and organized electrical installations.
