Overview

The ABB BU801 Insulated Conduit Bushing (SKU: BU801) is a die-cast zinc component engineered for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Designed to meet the National Electrical Code (NEC) paragraph 373-6C, this bushing provides a smoothly rounded insulating surface at conduit entry points, protecting ungrounded conductors from abrasion and damage during wire pulling or service. The BU801 features a 1/2-inch trade size with precise dimensions of 1.06-inch width and 0.43-inch thickness, ensuring compatibility with standard 1/2-inch rigid/IMC conduit installations. Key specifications include a die-cast zinc construction for durability in demanding industrial environments, with a temperature rating of 105°C (221°F). The bushing's design incorporates high ribs for easy finger or wrench tightening, and a locknut-type base that resists loosening under vibration. Unlike plastic alternatives, the metallic construction of the BU801 provides superior mechanical strength and grounding continuity in electrical systems. Ideal for commercial, industrial, and utility applications, the BU801 helps ensure compliance with electrical safety standards while reducing installation time. Its robust zinc material withstands harsh conditions, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and physical stress, making it a reliable choice for long-term performance. Manufactured by ABB, a trusted leader in electrical installation products, the BU801 combines precision engineering with field-proven reliability for critical conduit systems.
