Thomas Betts 615-TB Conduit Reducer 2 to 1-1/2 in Rigid Imc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 615-TB is a steel conduit reducer designed for rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. It transitions from a 2-inch trade size to a 1-1/2-inch trade size using a threaded connection, providing a secure mechanical joint between conduit sections of different diameters. The fitting is non-insulated and rated for non-hazardous areas. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of reducer when routing conduit runs that step down in size between panels, junction boxes, or equipment entries.

This reducer is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where rigid metal conduit or IMC is the raceway of choice. Typical applications include conduit runs in exposed or concealed installations inside non-hazardous classified areas. The threaded connection ensures compliance with standard rigid and IMC assembly practices and provides a reliable, low-resistance mechanical connection between conduit segments.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch trade size to 1-1/2-inch trade size in a single fitting
• Threaded connection compatible with standard rigid metal conduit and IMC threads
• Steel construction for mechanical durability in conduit installations
• Non-insulated design for standard non-hazardous area use
• Compact reducer profile for use in tight conduit routing scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems requiring a threaded 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch trade size reduction in non-hazardous areas.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for rigid metal conduit and IMC systems. De-energize all circuits and ensure the conduit system is properly grounded before working on any section. Apply listed thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to threaded connections and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight per standard conduit assembly practice. Do not over-torque, as this can damage conduit threads and compromise the mechanical connection.
