Multi Fittings 78357 Pvc Conduit Reducing Bushing 1-1/4x1 in

Product Description

The MULTI FITTINGS 78357 is a PVC conduit reducing bushing used to transition from a larger conduit trade size to a smaller one within an electrical raceway system. Rated for a 1-1/4 x 1 inch trade size, it measures 1.11 inches in height and 1.66 inches in diameter. The bushing is molded from PVC, making it lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited for dry, damp, and certain wet locations. Electricians install this fitting when downsizing conduit runs at junction boxes, panels, or conduit bodies where trade sizes must be reduced without cutting new conduit threads.

This reducing bushing is used in residential and light commercial electrical installations wherever PVC conduit systems require a size transition. Common applications include service entrances, branch circuit raceways, and junction box knockouts where a 1-1/4 inch conduit needs to accept a 1 inch conduit or fitting. Its gray finish blends with standard PVC conduit and fittings found throughout typical electrical distribution systems.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 x 1 inch trade size for downsizing PVC conduit runs
• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life
• 1.11 inch height keeps the transition compact within tight enclosures
• 1.66 inch outer diameter fits standard 1-1/4 inch PVC conduit hubs and knockouts
• Gray color matches standard PVC conduit system components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for PVC electrical conduit systems requiring a 1-1/4 to 1 inch trade size reduction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for conduit raceway systems. De-energize the circuit and verify power is off before working inside any panel, junction box, or conduit body. PVC conduit cement is typically applied to solvent-weld fittings; confirm whether this bushing is intended for threaded or solvent-weld assembly before installation. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
