Thomas Betts BG050-14-4 Conduit Bushing 1/2 in Rigid Imc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS BG050-14-4 is a malleable iron conduit bushing designed for use with rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. This bushing installs at the end of a conduit run to protect wire insulation from abrasion at the point of entry into enclosures, panels, or junction boxes. It features a lug screw connection type and a straight connector shape, making for a secure, reliable termination. The partial insulation on this bushing provides an added layer of protection for conductors passing through the fitting. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors working on commercial and industrial conduit installations will find this a standard component for code-compliant terminations.

This bushing is suited for rigid metal conduit and IMC installations where a 1/2 inch trade size fitting is required. It is commonly used in residential service panels, commercial electrical distribution systems, and industrial conduit runs where wire protection at conduit termination points is required by code. The malleable iron construction makes it appropriate for installations that demand durable metal fittings over plastic alternatives. The lug screw connection ensures the bushing stays secured to the conduit end without the need for specialized tooling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1/2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of conduit bushings is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and lock out power before working inside any panel or enclosure where this bushing will be installed. Thread or seat the bushing onto the end of the conduit before pulling wire to prevent conductor damage. Do not overtighten the lug screw beyond hand-firm plus a quarter turn without confirming fitting integrity.
