Southwire LRB3 Steel Reducing Bushing 1x1/2 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE LRB3 is a steel reducing bushing designed to adapt conduit knockouts and fittings from a 1-inch opening down to a 1/2-inch fitting. Reducing bushings are standard hardware in electrical rough-in and panel work, allowing electricians to use a single knockout size for multiple conduit entry points without cutting or enlarging the opening. The LRB3 is made of steel, providing the mechanical strength and grounding continuity required in metallic conduit systems. It is a compact, threaded fitting installed by hand or with a strap wrench and requires no special tooling beyond basic electrician hand tools.

This reducing bushing is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where conduit entries into enclosures, panels, junction boxes, or meter bases need to be stepped down in size. It is a high-turnover consumable used by licensed electricians and apprentices during panel rough-in, service entrance work, and conduit system assembly. Sold individually, it is a practical stocking item for electrical contractors and service vans.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit reducing bushing for use with threaded metallic conduit fittings, enclosures, panels, and junction boxes accepting 1-inch knockouts where a 1/2-inch entry is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation of this reducing bushing should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always de-energize and lock out the panel or enclosure before installing or removing any fittings. Thread the bushing into the knockout by hand and tighten securely to ensure a proper ground bond between the fitting and the enclosure. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the enclosure knockout.
