It is a standard conduit accessory found in panelboards, junction boxes, conduit bodies, and enclosures across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. The compact profile keeps the fitting flush within the entry point and maintains a secure threaded connection on both ends.This reducing bushing is suited for use in standard conduit systems wherever a trade size reduction is needed at a box entry, enclosure knockout, or conduit run junction.
