what are "female reducers" used for?
This part was in a catalog of rigid conduit fittings. It is just like
a reducing bushing, threaded inside and out, but it also has a "hex nut" flange one one end so it can be turned with a wrench. What are these normally used for? Another clue-- the part is a Thomas & Betts 1250. Could this be used to enter a box that has a knockout that's a size too big? --zeb |

You would screw the 3/4" part into the box or condulet using the hex flange to tighten it with a wrench. You would then screw your 1/2" conduit or fitting into internal part of the adapter. TDD |
