Appleton 336-R Reducing Bushing 2-1/2 X 2 Inch

Product Description

The APPLETON 336-R is a threaded reducing bushing designed to adapt a larger conduit opening to a smaller conduit size, specifically transitioning from 2-1/2 inches to 2 inches. This type of fitting is a standard component in electrical conduit systems, used to connect or terminate conduit runs where the trade sizes differ. Licensed electricians install reducing bushings during rough-in and finish work to maintain a continuous, code-compliant raceway. The 336-R weighs 0.740 pounds and is sized to fit standard threaded conduit fittings without modification.

Reducing bushings like the 336-R are used in commercial and industrial electrical installations where conduit system changes in trade size are required at enclosures, junction boxes, conduit bodies, and panel knockouts. The part is suited for interior and exterior conduit applications depending on the enclosure rating of the installation. Electricians working on new construction, retrofit, or service work will encounter this fitting when upsizing or downsizing rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, or threaded steel conduit runs.

Key Features

• Transitions conduit from 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch trade size
• Threaded design for secure, tool-assisted installation into standard conduit fittings
• Compact profile at 0.700 inches height for tight enclosure installations
• Lightweight at 0.740 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard reducing bushing for use with 2-1/2 inch to 2 inch threaded conduit systems in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this reducing bushing is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before working in any enclosure or conduit body where this fitting will be installed. Thread the bushing into the larger opening by hand first, then tighten with the appropriate conduit wrench or strap wrench. Inspect threads on both the bushing and the receiving fitting before installation to ensure a clean, secure connection.
