Conduit Reducing Washer 2-1/2 x 1/2

The DOTTIE RW71 is a steel reducing washer designed for conduit fittings. It adapts a 2-1/2 inch opening down to a 1/2 inch size for secure pipe connections. This component suits electrical contractors and maintenance crews working on commercial or industrial raceway systems. The steel construction provides mechanical strength for permanent installations.

Installers needing transition fittings

Electricians reducing large conduit hubs to smaller diameters will find this washer matches the required dimensions. It is not intended for plumbing water lines or high-pressure hydraulic sealing applications. Buyers who need a non-metallic insulator or a threaded bushing instead of a flat washer should select a different product type. The part serves strictly as a size reducer within conduit systems.

Steel construction for durability

The washer is manufactured from steel to withstand mechanical stress and environmental exposure in conduit runs. This material choice resists deformation when tightening locknuts against the fitting shoulder. Corrosion resistance depends on the specific finish applied by DOTTIE during production. Select this item when the specification calls for a steel reducing washer in this exact size combination.

Questions about this item

How is the reducing washer installed between 2-1/2 inch and 1/2 inch conduit?

Place the washer over the smaller conduit end, then thread the fitting onto the larger conduit so the washer seats flat against the shoulder.

What maintenance or replacement will the steel reducing washer need later?

Inspect for corrosion or deformation after exposure to moisture; replace if the washer no longer seats flat or shows rust.

What limit appears first when the washer is used in a continuously vibrating installation?

The steel can fatigue at the inner edge, causing the washer to loosen or crack under sustained vibration.
