L H Dottie Co R371 Reducing Bushing 3.5 X 2.5 Inches

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co R371 is a reducing bushing sized at 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches, used to transition between two different conduit or fitting sizes within an electrical or mechanical installation. Reducing bushings like the R371 are installed at enclosure knockouts, junction boxes, or conduit fittings where the existing opening is larger than the conduit or fitting being inserted. The part ships as an individual unit. Licensed electricians and trade professionals install this type of hardware fitting as part of conduit system assemblies in both residential and commercial applications.

The R371 reducing bushing is suited for use in conduit runs, electrical enclosures, and panel knockout transitions where a 3.5-inch opening must be reduced to accept a 2.5-inch conduit or fitting. It is a standard hardware accessory stocked as a single-piece unit, making it appropriate for targeted repairs, new installations, or service calls where only one bushing is needed to complete a transition point in the conduit system.

Key Features

• Reduces a 3.5-inch opening to accept a 2.5-inch conduit or fitting
• Sold individually as a single unit (each)
• Hardware accessory category fitting for conduit and enclosure transitions
• Compact, single-piece construction for straightforward installation at knockout or fitting entry points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit reducing bushing for conduit fittings and electrical enclosures with 3.5-inch knockout or entry openings requiring a 2.5-inch transition.

Installation Notes

Reducing bushings are installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC guidelines for conduit and fitting assemblies. De-energize the panel or enclosure completely before working at any knockout or entry point. Hand-tighten the bushing into the knockout opening, then secure with an appropriate wrench or pliers to ensure a firm, rattle-free fit. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the bushing or enclosure threads.
