Reducing Bushing 3 in x 3-1/2 in

The Appleton Century Crofts reducing bushing connects 3 inch and 3-1/2 inch threaded conduit in hazardous locations. It provides a female-to-male transition for IMC and threaded RMC systems. The fitting carries Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D ratings plus Class II and Class III approvals. Electricians and maintenance crews use it to adapt conduit sizes in classified areas.

Threaded transition for conduit builds

The bushing fits directly into a threaded conduit run with 3 inch FNPT and 3-1/2 inch MNPT ends. Its iron body with chromate, powder coat and electroplated finishes resists corrosion in harsh environments. The 1 7/16 inch overall length keeps the assembly compact inside enclosures. It eliminates the need for separate couplings when stepping between these two trade sizes.

Hazardous-location rated iron fitting

Weighing 0.92 lb, the solid iron construction dissipates heat without active cooling. No moving parts mean silent operation in normal service. The hazardous-location ratings cover Class I Zone 1 and 2 Groups IIA, IIB + H2 as well as Class II Division 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G. Power draw is not applicable for this passive component.

Questions about this item

How does the 0.92 lb weight affect the load on a 3-1/2 in IMC conduit run?

At 0.92 lb the bushing adds minimal dead load; the conduit and its supports carry the weight without special reinforcement.

Does the chromate and powder-coated iron run hot when installed in a Class I Division 1 enclosure?

The fitting is passive iron with chromate and powder coating; it generates no heat and stays at ambient temperature inside the enclosure.

What conduit and thread sealant are required to connect this 3 in FNPT to 3-1/2 in MNPT reducer?

Use 3 in and 3-1/2 in IMC or threaded RMC with a listed thread sealant suitable for hazardous-location NPT joints.
