Overview

The ABB 5-inch Insulated Bushing (SKU: 586) is a high-durability malleable iron fitting designed for Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) installations. Engineered to protect conductors from abrasion and damage, this bushing features a blue insulating liner in the throat, ensuring a non-conductive pathway for cables entering enclosures or equipment. The malleable iron construction provides superior impact resistance and longevity, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. The blue liner offers visual confirmation of insulation integrity and prevents metal-to-wire contact, reducing the risk of shorts and ground faults. With a 5-inch diameter, this bushing fits standard conduit sizes, providing a secure insulated termination point for electrical distribution panels, junction boxes, and conduit termination applications. The zinc-plated finish enhances corrosion resistance, while the threaded design ensures easy installation and reliable locking into place. Compatible with Rigid and IMC conduit systems, this bushing meets stringent electrical safety standards for conductor protection and strain relief.
