Thomas Betts 609 Conduit Reducer 1-1/2 to 1 in Rigid Imc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 609 is a threaded conduit reducer designed for use with rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. It reduces a 1-1/2 inch trade size conduit connection down to a 1 inch trade size, allowing transitions between different conduit sizes within a single raceway run. Constructed from malleable iron, the 609 delivers the mechanical strength and thread integrity required in commercial and industrial electrical installations. It is non-insulated and rated for non-hazardous locations. Electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of conduit runs in panel feeders, junction boxes, and pull boxes where conduit size changes are necessary.

This reducer fits standard threaded rigid and IMC conduit in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations. It is suited for indoor and outdoor raceway systems where a reduction from 1-1/2 inch to 1 inch trade size is needed at a conduit termination or transition point. The threaded connection ensures a secure, code-compliant mechanical joint consistent with NEC requirements for rigid and IMC conduit fittings.

Key Features

• Reduces 1-1/2 inch trade size conduit to 1 inch trade size in a single fitting
• Malleable iron construction provides high mechanical strength and reliable thread engagement
• Threaded connection type for use with rigid metal conduit (RMC) and IMC
• Non-insulated design for standard non-hazardous location applications
• Compact fitting supports clean raceway transitions at boxes, panels, and enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems in non-hazardous locations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 344 (rigid metal conduit) or Article 342 (intermediate metal conduit). De-energize all circuits in the affected raceway before beginning work. Apply listed pipe thread compound or tape sparingly to male threads and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to achieve a secure mechanical connection. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
