Klein Tools 53850 Knockout Die 1-1/4 in Conduit

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 53850 is a knockout die designed to punch 1.701-inch diameter holes in electrical enclosures, panels, and junction boxes for 1-1/4 inch conduit entries. Used as part of a knockout punch set, the die works in conjunction with a matching punch and draw stud to produce clean, burr-free conduit knockouts in sheet metal. Electricians reach for this die when adding conduit entries to existing enclosures or fabricating new panel installations. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, single-purpose tool that integrates with standard knockout driver systems.

This die is suited for commercial and residential electrical work wherever 1-1/4 inch conduit must be terminated into a metal enclosure, panel, or wireway. Typical applications include adding circuits to existing load centers, installing subpanels, and routing EMT or rigid conduit into junction boxes. The 1.701-inch knockout diameter corresponds to the standard trade size for 1-1/4 inch conduit per ANSI punch sizing conventions.
