Overview

The ABB 1231AL is a 4-inch insulated bushing designed for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Constructed from durable aluminum, this bushing features a distinct blue insulating liner within its throat. This liner is crucial for protecting electrical conductors from abrasion and damage as they pass through the conduit opening, ensuring the integrity of your electrical installations. The 4-inch size makes it suitable for a range of conduit applications where robust protection is required. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, the 1231AL (SKU: 1231AL) provides a reliable solution for safeguarding wiring. Its aluminum construction offers inherent corrosion resistance, while the blue insulating liner adds an extra layer of safety and compliance. This component is essential for maintaining proper electrical insulation and preventing potential short circuits or ground faults. The blue color of the liner also aids in visual identification of the insulated throat. Ideal for industrial and commercial electrical systems, this bushing contributes to the overall safety and longevity of electrical infrastructure. Its straightforward design ensures ease of installation with compatible rigid and IMC conduit systems.
