Tempo Communications 712a100 Metal Stud Wire Bushing

Product Description

The TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS 712a100 is a metal stud wire bushing sold in a 100-piece pack, designed to protect wire and cable insulation from the sharp edges of pre-punched or field-punched holes in metal stud framing. The bushing fits a 1-11/32 inch diameter hole, including holes punched by the 710 punch tool. A triple-lock design snaps the bushing securely into place, holding it firm without adhesives or fasteners. Electricians and low-voltage installers use these bushings during rough-in to eliminate cable hang-ups and insulation damage when pulling wire through metal stud walls.

These bushings are used in commercial and residential construction wherever metal stud framing is present. They are a standard rough-in consumable for electrical and low-voltage work, including structured wiring, data cabling, and power circuits. The bushing accepts metal studs ranging from 24 gauge to 12 gauge, covering the full range of light-gauge framing common in interior partition and load-bearing metal stud assemblies. Installation requires no tools beyond hand pressure to snap the bushing into the pre-punched or punched hole.

Compatibility

Designed for use with pre-punched metal stud holes and holes created by the TEMPO COMMUNICATIONS 710 punch tool, fitting a 1-11/32 inch diameter opening in metal studs ranging from 24 gauge to 12 gauge.

Installation Notes

Install before pulling wire or cable through metal stud framing. Snap the bushing into the punched hole by hand until all three locking tabs engage. NEC Article 300 and applicable local codes may require bushings or grommets where conductors pass through metal framing with sharp edges. Inspect each installed bushing to confirm it is seated flush and secure before beginning the wire pull.
