Morris Products Anti Short Bushings Electrical Insulation

Description

Product Overview

Morris Products Anti-Short Bushings are precision-engineered electrical components designed to insulate conductors from the sharp cut ends of flexible BX or Greenfield conduit. Constructed from durable insulating materials, these bushings feature a tapered design that facilitates quick and secure insertion into conduit IDs. The overlapping horizontal flange provides comprehensive protection against abrasive metal edges, ensuring long-term wire safety and system reliability. Key specifications include model number 21756, manufactured by Morris Products, with a first available date of February 18, 2022.

Usage

These anti-short bushings are ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential electrical installations where flexible metal conduit is employed. Electricians and maintenance professionals use them at termination points in BX or Greenfield systems to prevent wire damage during installation and throughout the conduit’s service life. They’re particularly valuable in environments with vibration or movement where wires might shift against conduit edges, making them essential for HVAC systems, machinery wiring, and building electrical infrastructure.

Why Choose Us

Morris Products delivers superior electrical components through rigorous quality control and industry-specific engineering. Our anti-short bushings stand out with their precise dimensional accuracy that ensures consistent fit across various conduit sizes. The specialized polymer formulation provides excellent dielectric strength while maintaining flexibility for easy installation. Unlike generic alternatives, our bushings feature reinforced flange design that resists deformation under pressure, offering reliable protection through temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.

Key Features

• Tapered design enables fast, effortless insertion into conduit openings
• Overlapping horizontal flange creates complete insulation barrier against sharp edges
• High-dielectric material prevents electrical shorts and conductor damage
• Precision sizing ensures secure fit in standard BX and Greenfield conduit
• Durable construction maintains integrity through installation and service life

FAQ

What types of conduit do these bushings work with?

These anti-short bushings are designed specifically for flexible metal conduit types including BX (armored cable) and Greenfield (flexible metallic conduit). They fit standard conduit interior diameters and provide protection at termination points where wires exit the conduit.

How do I install the anti-short bushings?

Installation is straightforward: simply insert the tapered end of the bushing into the conduit’s interior diameter at the termination point. The bushing will snap into place, with the horizontal flange covering the sharp cut end of the conduit to protect the wires as they pass through.

Are these bushings reusable?

While the bushings are designed for single installation use, they can potentially be reused if removed carefully without damage. However, for optimal safety and performance, we recommend using new bushings for each installation to ensure complete insulation integrity.

What temperature range do these bushings withstand?

The insulating material is rated for standard electrical application temperatures typically ranging from -40°C to 105°C (-40°F to 221°F), making them suitable for most indoor and protected outdoor electrical installations.

Do I need special tools for installation?

No special tools are required. The bushings can be installed by hand pressure alone due to their tapered design. For particularly tight fittings, a gentle push with a blunt tool may help seat the bushing completely.
