Electrical Conduit Ferrule
Item Name Code (INC) 08089
 |
An item usually of one piece construction, but which may be comprised of more than one piece, designed to be affixed permanently or temporarily to the end of an electrical conduit to form an end fitting. Unflanged items form a permanent end fitting which affords mechanical protection to emerging conductors. Flanged items are used with another fitting normally a conduit coupling nut, to make the conduit adaptable for connection to an electrical connector, junction box or other conduit accessory or fitting. Excludes RING, ELECTRICAL BONDING; BUSHING, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT; and BUSHING, PLAIN SLEEVE. See also FERRULE-NUT COUPLING, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT.
Additional Information for Electrical Conduit Ferrule
Electrical conduit ferrules are components used in electrical installations to secure and protect electrical conduits. They are typically made of metal or plastic and are designed to be inserted into the end of a conduit to provide a secure connection.
The main purpose of electrical conduit ferrules is to prevent the conduit from fraying or splitting at the end, which can lead to damage to the wires inside and potential electrical hazards. They also help to maintain the structural integrity of the conduit and ensure a proper fit when connecting multiple conduits together.
In addition to providing protection, electrical conduit ferrules also serve as a means of grounding the conduit system. By connecting the ferrule to the grounding system, any electrical faults or surges can be safely directed away from the wiring and equipment.
Overall, electrical conduit ferrules are essential components in electrical installations, ensuring the safety and reliability of the electrical system. They are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
