Overview

The ABB 1228-TB is a 2-1/2 inch insulated bushing designed for use with rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC). Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this bushing (SKU: 1228-TB) features a durable malleable iron construction, ensuring longevity in industrial applications. Its key distinguishing feature is the blue insulating liner located within the throat. This liner serves a critical protective function, safeguarding electrical wires and cables from abrasion and damage as they pass through the conduit opening. The insulating properties of the liner also contribute to electrical safety by preventing accidental contact with the conduit walls. This design is essential for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems and preventing short circuits or ground faults. The 2-1/2 inch size makes it suitable for a range of conduit installations where this specific diameter is required. The malleable iron body provides robust mechanical strength, capable of withstanding the rigors of industrial environments. This bushing is a vital component for ensuring compliant and safe electrical installations, particularly where conduit termination points require protection and insulation. Its straightforward design facilitates easy installation onto standard rigid or IMC conduit fittings.
