Conduit Adaptors, Male Bushes & Reducers

The fittings that get conduit into a box or an enclosure, and step between sizes. Small parts, but the ones that decide whether an entry is mechanically sound and properly finished.

Male bushes

A male bush finishes the conduit at a box entry, providing a smooth radiused mouth so cable insulation is not damaged as it is drawn in. Codes AEMMB2 through AEMMB6. Never leave a cut conduit end in a knockout without a bush — the sharp edge will eventually cut through insulation.

Female and male adaptors

Female thread adaptors with male bushes (AEMAB2–6) take the conduit into a female-threaded box entry. Male thread adaptors with check ring (IMMA7, IMMA8) suit male-threaded entries, the check ring locking the adaptor at the right depth. Double-ended female adaptors with a male bush on both sides (IMDA2, IMDA3) join two threaded entries back to back.

Reducers

The MR2 reducer steps 25mm down to 20mm, which is the common transition where a 25mm sub-main route branches into 20mm final circuits.

Frequently asked

Do I need a male bush on every box entry?
Yes, on every conduit entry into a box or enclosure. The bush gives a radiused mouth that protects cable insulation from the cut edge of the conduit as cables are drawn in and later disturbed.
