Appleton 327-R Reducing Bushing 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 Inch

Product Description

The APPLETON 327-R is a threaded reducing bushing designed to adapt a 1-1/2 inch conduit entry to a 1-1/4 inch conduit or fitting. It threads directly into a knockout or fitting hub, allowing electricians to connect smaller-diameter conduit runs to larger enclosures or junction boxes without upsizing the conduit. This type of reducing bushing is a standard component in commercial and industrial electrical installations where knockout sizes do not match available conduit sizes. Compact and low-profile at approximately 0.3 inches in height, the 327-R keeps panel and enclosure entries clean and code-compliant.

This reducing bushing is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical conduit systems wherever a 1-1/2 inch threaded knockout or hub must accept 1-1/4 inch conduit. It is typically installed at panel enclosures, junction boxes, and conduit bodies. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of raceway assembly during rough-in or retrofit work.

Key Features

• Reduces a 1-1/2 inch threaded opening to accept 1-1/4 inch conduit or fittings
• Threaded design for secure, tool-assisted installation into standard knockouts or hubs
• Low-profile form factor at approximately 0.3 inches in height
• Lightweight at 0.26 pounds for easy handling in overhead or confined-space installations
• Standard trade-size configuration compatible with common conduit raceway assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch threaded knockouts or conduit hubs requiring a reduction to 1-1/4 inch trade size in electrical enclosures and raceway systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the enclosure or panel before installing or removing any conduit fittings. Use an appropriate wrench or conduit fitting tool to thread the bushing fully and evenly into the knockout — do not cross-thread. Inspect the threads on both the fitting and the knockout for damage before assembly.
