Overview

The ABB 1456 is a 2-inch non-metallic knockout plug designed for Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. Engineered from flame-retardant, non-dripping thermoplastic rated at 105°C (221°F), this plug ensures reliable sealing of unused conduit knockouts in electrical enclosures. Its one-piece construction snaps securely into place, providing high-impact strength and self-extinguishing properties per UL 94 standards. The 2-inch size accommodates standard knockout configurations, with a nominal diameter of 2.740 inches and a wall thickness of 0.570 inches for enclosures up to 2-inch trade size. This plug eliminates the need for separate capped bushings or steel pennies, simplifying installation while maintaining system integrity. Ideal for electricians and contractors, the ABB 1456 protects against dust, moisture, and physical damage during construction or remodeling. Compatible with Rigid Metal Conduit, IMC, and EMT, it meets UL 514B, NFPA 70, and CSA C22.2 No. 18 standards. The thermoplastic material resists corrosion and interference, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Installation requires no specialized tools—just snap into place for a secure, long-lasting seal.
