Plasti-Bond® Reducing Bushings: Reduce Trade Sizes, Waste, and Total Cost Ownership of a PVC-Coated Electrical Raceway System
Plasti-Bond’s innovative PVC-Coated Reducing Bushing with Sealing Sleeve is a groundbreaking product that simplifies the precise transition of PVC-coated conduit from one trade size to a smaller size. The Plasti-Bond PVC-Coated Reducing Bushing with sealing sleeve is engineered for accurate, simple installation and longevity. Its patent-pending design creates a complete seal at all connection points and maintains the environmental integrity of the PVC-coated raceway system. The innovative design ultimately reduces effects of corrosion damage and prevent costly repairs and maintenance, positively impacting the cost of ownership.
The common installation practice of using a larger diameter sleeve or cutting the ceiling sleeve to install reducing bushings can cause the connection points to become a weak link. These vulnerable spots will harbor moisture and bacteria that will lead to accelerated corrosion damage, increasing the likelihood of costly and time-consuming repairs and replacements. As part of Plasti-Bond’s high-performance corrosion-resistant solution system, all new reducing bushing, is engineered from UL-listed PVC material with an integrally molded connection ring that fits snuggly over the opening of the fitting and an integral PVC sealing sleeve that protects the connection to the smaller-sized conduit. These features reduce the risk of corrosion and the cost of improper installation, ensuring a much-improved seal at all connection points. For engineers and end-users alike, Plasti-Bond® Reducing Bushings is a simpler, more sensible solution to corrosion resistance that can help protect a facility’s investment for the long haul.
Product Features:
Available in multiple trade sizes and different configurations to align with project requirements.
Integral PVC connection ring and sealing sleeve fit snuggly at connection points and provide a superior sealed system keeping corrosive elements from entering the interior of the conduit system and improving the overall performance of the system - even when reducing trade sizes.
Integral bushing in reducing bushing provides a smooth pulling surface and protects against conductor damage.
Manufactured using known, UL-listed PVC material for corrosion resistance.
Gray color matches other Robroy® product coating color for a visually appealing, professional installation.
Industry standards recommend that working installers must be certified and in possession of unexpired certification/credentials. Proper installation ensures the PVC-coated conduit system achieves its maximum performance level and best service life. As with all installations, products should be installed in accordance with applicable specifications, codes, and standards.
