Bridgeport Fittings 1171 Reducing Bushing 2.5 to 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT FITTINGS 1171 is a steel reducing bushing designed to transition conduit or fitting connections from a 2.5-inch trade size down to a 0.5-inch trade size. Reducing bushings seat inside a larger knockout or fitting opening, allowing an electrician to connect a smaller conduit or fitting without replacing the enclosure or box. The all-steel construction provides the mechanical strength and grounding continuity required in commercial and industrial electrical installations. This is a standard stocked component used in panel work, junction boxes, and conduit systems.

This bushing is used in electrical conduit installations where box knockouts or conduit hubs are oversized for the conduit being installed. Typical applications include service panels, pull boxes, junction boxes, and conduit bodies in both commercial and industrial settings. Electricians reach for reducing bushings during new installations and retrofit work whenever conduit sizing changes between runs or at enclosure entry points.

Key Features

• Reduces a 2.5-inch opening to accept a 0.5-inch conduit or fitting
• Steel construction for mechanical durability and electrical grounding continuity
• Designed for use in conduit and enclosure installations
• Standard reducing bushing form factor for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use reducing bushing for steel conduit systems requiring a 2.5-inch to 0.5-inch trade size transition at enclosures, junction boxes, or conduit hubs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the enclosure before installing or adjusting any fitting. Thread or seat the bushing firmly into the knockout or fitting opening before making conduit connections. Inspect the bushing seating to ensure continuous metal-to-metal contact for proper equipment grounding.
