Hubbell Incorporated RACO 1152 IMC Bushing 2 in x 1/2 in Threaded Steel Zinc Plated Gray

RACO 1152 IMC Reducing Bushing

The RACO 1152 is a threaded steel reducing bushing that connects 2 inch conduit to 1/2 inch conduit. It is built for electricians and installers who need a code-compliant transition between different trade sizes in rigid metal or intermediate metal conduit runs. The zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in damp or outdoor locations. cULus listing confirms it meets recognized safety standards for the intended application.

Threaded Steel Construction and NPS Threads

The bushing uses National Pipe Straight threads with a female-to-male configuration that threads directly into threaded RMC or IMC fittings. Overall length is 27/32 in while overall height and width are each 2 5/16 in, so the fitting adds minimal bulk inside a junction box or enclosure. Steel walls and zinc plating provide mechanical protection for conductors passing through the 64 in inside diameter. The gray color matches standard conduit systems for visual consistency.

Upgrade from Improvised Reducers

Replacing field-fabricated reducers or mismatched couplings with this listed bushing eliminates inspection rework and maintains grounding continuity through the conduit system. The jump is worth it when a project calls for a clean 2 in to 1/2 in transition in threaded RMC or IMC and the installer wants a single UL-listed component instead of assembling multiple parts. It is not suited for non-threaded conduit types or for applications requiring a larger inside diameter than 64 in.
