Appleton A-250 Plastic Conduit Bushing 2.5 in 150 Degree

Product Description

The APPLETON A-250 is a 2.5-inch plastic conduit bushing rated for 150-degree service, designed to protect wire insulation at the end of a conduit run. It installs at the threaded end of rigid metal conduit or IMC to prevent abrasion where conductors enter a panel, junction box, or enclosure. The smooth interior throat reduces the risk of insulation damage during wire pull-in. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting in commercial and industrial wiring systems.

This bushing is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations where conduit terminates at enclosures, panels, or switchgear. The 2.5-inch trade size accommodates standard rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit of the same trade size. Its plastic construction makes it a common choice in applications where a non-metallic, lightweight bushing is acceptable under the applicable wiring method.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch trade size fits standard rigid metal conduit and IMC terminations
• 150-degree temperature rating suitable for typical commercial wiring environments
• Plastic construction provides lightweight, non-metallic bushing solution
• Smooth interior throat protects conductor insulation during wire pull
• Low profile at 0.41 inches height for tight enclosure clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bushing for 2.5-inch trade size rigid metal conduit and IMC termination points in standard electrical enclosures and panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize the circuit and verify lockout/tagout procedures before working inside any panel or enclosure. Thread the bushing onto the conduit end before pulling conductors to avoid insulation damage. Follow NEC Article 300 requirements for conduit fill and conductor protection at termination points.
