Overview

The ABB BU501-5 is a 1/2-inch non-metallic insulated bushing designed for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. This bushing provides essential insulation and protection for electrical wiring passing through conduit openings, preventing current leakage and safeguarding against short circuits. The non-metallic construction ensures inherent electrical isolation, maintaining system integrity and personnel safety. Each unit measures 1 1/32 inches in dimension A and 1/2 inch in dimension B, fitting standard 1/2-inch conduit applications. Supplied in a convenient bag of 5 units, the BU501-5 is ideal for projects requiring multiple installations. Its primary function includes protecting conduit openings from sharp edges and providing a smooth, insulated surface for wire pulling, reducing the risk of insulation damage during installation. This bushing is a standard component for electrical contractors and maintenance professionals working with metallic conduit systems where insulation is required. The BU501-5 is part of ABB's Installation Products line, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard conduit fittings.
