Reducing Bushing 2 in x 2-1/2 in

This Appleton Electric RB250-200 reducing bushing connects 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch IMC or threaded RMC conduit. The female-to-male NPT threaded fitting measures 1-1/4 inches overall length and weighs 0.56 lb. Iron construction features chromate, powder coat and electroplated finishes for corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Hazardous Location Rated Conduit Fitting

The fitting carries Class I Division 1 and 2 Groups B C D, Class I Zone 1 and 2 Groups IIA IIB+H2, Class II Division 1 and 2 Groups E F G and Class III ratings. Installers working in hazardous areas can use this bushing to transition between conduit trade sizes while maintaining code compliance. Electricians on non-hazardous projects do not need this level of certification.

Threaded Transition for IMC and RMC

The single specification that decides fit is the 2 in FNPT by 2-1/2 in MNPT thread combination. This bushing only works where a female 2 inch thread must accept a male 2-1/2 inch thread on compatible IMC or threaded RMC conduit. Any other thread size or conduit type requires a different fitting.

Questions about this item

What thread sizes does the 2 in x 2-1/2 in reducing bushing connect?

It connects a 2 inch female NPT thread to a 2-1/2 inch male NPT thread for IMC or threaded RMC conduit.

How is the reducing bushing installed and what common error should be avoided?

Thread the male end into the larger conduit fitting and the female end receives the smaller conduit; the common error is cross-threading the tapered NPT threads.

When should the chromate and powder coated iron bushing be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the chromate, powder coat and electroplated finish regularly for corrosion or damage; replace the bushing if the coating is compromised or threads are worn.
