Overview

NSI Industries SKU 385 is a UL-listed insulated grounding bushing designed for 1.5-inch IPS conduit. Constructed from durable malleable iron, this bushing meets NEC requirements for grounding applications in industrial and commercial electrical systems. The G-3 model features an insulated throat to prevent conductor abrasion during wire pulling, complying with UL 514B and UL 467 standards for grounding bushings. This grounding bushing accommodates stranded ground wire sizes from 8 AWG to 4/0 AWG, providing broad compatibility for NEC-compliant electrical installations. Its integral lug design ensures reliable ground continuity and secure attachment to grounding conductors. Key specifications include a 1.437" height, 2.320" length, and 0.748" width, with a 1 1/2-inch trade size for proper conduit fitment. The malleable iron construction resists deformation and corrosion, making it suitable for demanding applications. Supplied in cartons of 20, the NSI 385 is ideal for motor control centers, panelboards, and distribution equipment where ground integrity is critical. Manufactured in the US.
