Such bushings seem to normally be used with larger diameter rigid/imc for larger-gauge wires where a simple clamp to box does not provide enough of an electrical connection by Code or situations where conduit is being used for protection of exterior wires entering conduit without a junction box (e.g. wires from solar panel). | |

| Apr 29, 2023 at 18:02 | comment | added | peter | This is useful info but doesn't help me with my questions. My main question is whether the grounding bushing attached is the right one for EMT (thread compatibility can be one part of this), and if so, how do people use it / fit it in plastic boxes. | |
