Wrong knock-out
 

Hi,

Was putting a circuit in an electrical panel, and tried to get the
smallest knock-out out, but of course the largest (2"?) came out. So now
what do I do? Go get a 2" connector for a single wire or is there a
device that can close off this huge hole?

Thanks!

There are reducer washers available for this. Another option
would be a box cover with a hole for 1/2" conduit. Fasten it to the box
with a couple screws.

A big wad of duct tape around the wire will plug the hole.

I did this and just laid the knockout back in and secured it with a
couple dabs of epoxy.

Get a pair of 2" to 1/2" reducing washers

You could hold the knock out in place, drill 2-3 holes around the circle, and
put screws and nuts or pop rivets with washers through the hole to hold it in
place. Knock out the right size hole first.

*You can buy a knockout seal to close the 2" knockout and then use another
knockout in the panel. You could also buy a pair of reducing washers
2"x1/2" to use that opening for your connector.

Are you sure that is a 2" (Trade size) opening? Usually 2" concentric
knockouts only go down to 1" or sometimes 3/4", but every manufacturer is
different.

Right next to the 2" connectors at the electrical supply will be a box
of 2" plugs. Get one, pop it in, and get on with life.
