Overview

The ABB 429 3-inch Insuliner Sleeve is a high-dielectric nylon protective sleeve engineered to convert standard metal bushings into UL-listed insulated bushings without disturbing existing wiring. Designed for Rigid, Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC), Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT), and flexible metallic conduit systems, this sleeve provides a non-metallic barrier that safeguards conductors from abrasion, impact, and environmental damage. Constructed from flame-retardant, non-dripping thermoplastic rated at 105°C, the sleeve delivers exceptional resistance to chemicals, UV exposure, and mechanical stress, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor applications. Its precise 3-inch diameter (dimension A: 1½ inches, dimension B: 0.040 inches) ensures seamless compatibility with standard conduit sizes, eliminating the need for additional fittings or bushings. The streamlined design simplifies installation—simply slip the sleeve over wires, insert into a standard bushing, and snap into place.
