Conduit Reducing Washer 4 in x 3-1/2 in
This zinc-plated steel reducing washer connects 4-inch conduit to 3-1/2-inch fittings in electrical installations. It is supplied new and intended for trade or DIY use where a secure, code-compliant transition between conduit sizes is required. The DOTTIE RW109 model provides a flat sealing surface for locknuts or couplings.
Zinc-plated steel construction
The zinc coating protects the washer against corrosion in damp or outdoor environments. Steel gives the part enough rigidity to maintain its shape under tightening torque, preventing the deformation that softer metals can suffer. No separate gasket or sealant is included, so the installer must ensure the mating faces are clean for a reliable connection.
Simple slip-on installation
The washer slides over the conduit end before the locknut is tightened, requiring no special tools beyond standard wrenches. The most common issue is misalignment when the conduit is not cut square, which can leave a gap that compromises the seal. Verifying a clean, perpendicular cut avoids rework.
Highlights
- Reduces conduit from 4 in to 3-1/2 in

Questions about this item
Does the zinc coating on this reducing washer wear off over time and need replacement?
The zinc-plated steel resists corrosion in normal conduit installations, so the washer does not require scheduled replacement.
What mechanical limit appears first if this washer is left under constant clamp load?
The steel body maintains its shape under normal tightening torque, and no yield point is reached in standard conduit assemblies.
Does the washer generate any noise or heat when conduit vibrates all day?
As a passive metal spacer it produces no noise or heat regardless of vibration duration.
