Perma-Cote® Reducing Bushings: A Simpler Way to Install A PVC-Coated Electrical Raceway System
Perma-Cote’s innovative PVC-Coated Reducing Bushing with Sealing Sleeve is a groundbreaking product that simplifies the proper transition of PVC-coated conduit from a larger size to a smaller trade size. The Perma-Cote PVC-Coated Reducing Bushing with sealing sleeve makes proper installation an easy task, creates a complete seal at points of connection, and maintains the environmental integrity of the PVC-coated raceway system.
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 weak spots will harbor moisture and other gunk that will lead to accelerated corrosion damage. Perma-Cote’s patent-pending PVC-coated reducing bushings are engineered 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. Its unique design both reduces the risk of costly installation done improperly and ensures a much-improved seal at all connection points. For contractors and end-users alike, Perma-Cote® Reducing Bushings is a simpler, more sensible solution to eliminating potential vulnerable points of a properly sealed PVC-coated raceway system.
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.
