Southwire LRB8 Steel Reducing Bushing 1.5x0.5 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE LRB8 is a steel reducing bushing designed to adapt conduit or fitting openings from a larger trade size to a smaller one, allowing trade professionals to transition between different pipe or conduit diameters within an electrical or plumbing system. At 1.5 inches by 0.5 inches, this bushing provides a secure, threaded connection that maintains system integrity. Licensed electricians and plumbers rely on this type of fitting to consolidate runs, reduce knockout openings, and maintain code-compliant installations without adding unnecessary fittings or adapters to the line.

This reducing bushing is suited for use in residential and light commercial electrical conduit systems, junction boxes, panels, and enclosures where a standard threaded reducing connection is required. Its steel construction provides durability in exposed or semi-exposed installations and is appropriate for rigid metal conduit and related threaded applications. Installers working on panel boards, pull boxes, or conduit body assemblies will find this a practical, direct-fit solution for standard reducing bushing applications.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in electrical and conduit applications
• 1.5-inch to 0.5-inch reducing profile for threaded conduit transitions
• Compact design for use in junction boxes, panels, and enclosures
• Threaded fitting compatible with standard rigid metal conduit fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement reducing bushing for standard threaded conduit fittings rated at 1.5 inches by 0.5 inches in residential and light commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before beginning any fitting work. Hand-tighten the bushing into the knockout or fitting opening, then snug with appropriate pliers or a pipe wrench — do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads. Verify proper seating and thread engagement before restoring power or completing conduit assembly.
