Bridgeport Fittings 1696 Steel Knockout Hole Plug 2 in

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT FITTINGS 1696 is a 2-inch steel knockout hole plug designed to cap unused knockout openings in electrical boxes and enclosures. Constructed from steel for lasting durability, this plug installs without tools — it presses or hammers into place from outside the enclosure. It maintains a secure, closed knockout opening for as long as the enclosure remains in service. Electricians and electrical contractors reach for this type of plug during panel work, junction box installations, and enclosure modifications where unused knockouts must be sealed to maintain code compliance and protect internal wiring from debris and moisture.

The 1696 is rated for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it a versatile fit for a wide range of electrical enclosure types. It is well suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever 2-inch knockouts are present and need to be closed off. Whether sealing knockouts on weatherproof boxes, outdoor panels, or standard indoor junction boxes, this plug provides a clean, secure finish.

• Fits 2-inch knockout openings in electrical boxes and enclosures
• Steel construction for durable, long-term sealing
• Installs by hand pressure or light hammer strike from outside the enclosure

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical workers. Power down and de-energize the enclosure before beginning any work inside or around the electrical box. The plug seats by pressing or lightly hammering it into the knockout opening from the exterior side of the enclosure. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for enclosure integrity and knockout fill when sealing unused openings.
