RACO 1143 reducing bushing for conduit
The RACO 1143 is a steel reducing bushing that connects 1 inch threaded RMC or IMC conduit to 1/2 inch fittings. It is built for electricians and installers who need a durable transition between different conduit trade sizes in commercial or industrial raceway systems. The zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in damp or outdoor locations. cULus listing confirms compliance with applicable safety standards.
Threaded NPS interface limits
The bushing uses NPS straight threads in a female-to-male configuration, so it only mates with matching NPS-threaded conduit and fittings. It will not seal against tapered NPT threads without additional sealing measures. The 5/8 inch overall length and 1 1/4 inch height and width define the space it occupies inside a junction box or enclosure. The 64 inch inside diameter accommodates standard wire fill for the reduced trade size.
Replaces makeshift reducer assemblies
This single-piece fitting replaces field-assembled reducer combinations that add labour time and potential leak paths. The jump is worth it when a clean, code-compliant transition between 1 inch and 1/2 inch RMC or IMC is required and the installer wants a listed component with consistent thread engagement. It is not for buyers who need non-threaded compression or set-screw connections.
