Value Collection BD-17501 Conduit Bushing 3/4 to 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-17501 is a non-insulated threaded conduit bushing designed to protect wire and cable at conduit terminations in rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) installations. Constructed from malleable iron steel, this bushing threads onto the end of a conduit nipple or fitting to eliminate sharp edges that could damage conductor insulation during pull-through. It transitions a 3/4-inch trade-size conduit down to a 1/2-inch trade-size entry point. Electricians install these bushings at panel knockouts, junction boxes, and enclosure entries as a standard wire-protection measure.

This bushing is suited for commercial and residential electrical installations where rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) terminates at an enclosure, panel, or box. The threaded connection ensures a secure, stable fit without tools beyond hand-tightening in many applications. The malleable iron steel construction holds up in indoor and outdoor conduit runs where mechanical durability is required. No insulated lining is present, making this a standard-duty mechanical protection fitting.

Key Features

• Non-insulated design for standard mechanical wire protection at conduit terminations
• Malleable iron steel construction provides durability in demanding electrical installations
• Threaded connection type for secure engagement with rigid and IMC conduit ends
• Reduces from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch trade size for transition fittings at enclosures
• Compatible with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) at 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch trade-size transitions.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians install conduit bushings as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) wherever conduit terminates at a box or enclosure. De-energize the circuit and disconnect power at the panel before working inside any enclosure. Thread the bushing onto the conduit end by hand, then snug with pliers or a strap wrench as needed to seat it flush against the knockout. Inspect conductor insulation for damage before and after pulling wire through the terminated conduit.
