Appleton 325-R Reducing Bushing 1-1/4 X 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The APPLETON 325-R is a threaded reducing bushing designed to adapt conduit fittings and enclosures from a 1-1/4 inch threaded opening down to a 3/4 inch thread size. This type of reducing bushing is a standard component in electrical conduit installations, allowing electricians to connect smaller conduit or fittings into a larger threaded hub without replacing the enclosure or fitting. The 325-R weighs 0.27 pounds, making it a compact, lightweight hardware item suited for both new construction and retrofit work in commercial and residential electrical systems.

This reducing bushing is used in conduit installations where mismatched thread sizes must be bridged at junction boxes, conduit bodies, enclosures, or other threaded conduit hubs. It is appropriate for use in indoor and outdoor electrical applications where a threaded reducing adapter is required to maintain a secure, code-compliant conduit system. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this fitting as part of a larger conduit assembly.

Key Features

• Reduces a 1-1/4 inch threaded opening to accept 3/4 inch conduit or fittings
• Threaded design provides a secure, reliable connection at conduit hubs and enclosures
• Lightweight construction at 0.27 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Compact profile suitable for tight enclosure and conduit body applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reducing bushing for use with standard threaded conduit fittings, enclosures, and junction boxes with 1-1/4 inch threaded hubs requiring a 3/4 inch reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit or enclosure before beginning any conduit work. Hand-tighten the bushing into the threaded hub first, then snug with an appropriate wrench to ensure a secure fit without over-tightening. Inspect threads on both the bushing and the receiving hub before installation to confirm clean, undamaged engagement.
