A conduit bushing is used when a conduit is terminated in a junction box or enclosure. Its purpose is to provide a smooth rounded surface so that when the wire is pulled into the conduit the insulation on the wire will not be damaged.

A conduit bushing is typically used to protect electrical wiring from damage as it passes through a metal enclosure or conduit fitting. It helps prevent the sharp edges of the conduit from damaging the insulation of the wires and provides a smooth surface for the wires to pass through, reducing the risk of abrasion or short circuits.

How do you get a power cable through a hose?

You should probably use electrical conduit approved for this purpose, and not hose - anything else is unsafe and will fail. To get the cable through the conduit: Find a styrofoam ball, ping-pong ball, or similar very lightweight ball just slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit. Push the end of a piece of lightweight nylon twine (longer than your conduit) through the ball and tie it in a knot. On one end of the conduit, attach the hose of a shop-vac - and at the other end, drop in your ball. The vacuum will suck the ball and twine through the conduit. Retrieve the ball. Then use the twine to pull your line through the conduit (if small wire), or to pull a length of stronger rope or cable through before attaching it your wire.

Can you use existing PVC conduit run from basement to 8th floor for 120v circuits for chillers?

The simple answer to your question is yes. But there are limits to how many wires can be in any conduit, and the current carrying capacity of the conductors can be affected by distance, ambient temperature, and how many conductors are contained in the same conduit. Other things to consider are, Can you physically fit the wires in there? Would it be easier to run a new conduit? Do you have the manpower necessary to get the work done?

What is conduit wirimg?

Conduit wiring is simply wiring that you find in a conduit. Typically, a conduit is a small round tube, usually metal but sometimes plastic, that carries wires from one area to the next. Wire has a tenancy to sag and get tangled and such when it is laid out in long distances. The conduit serves to protect the wire and to ensure it stays linear and it stays in place.


Which industry uses conduit clamps?

Conduit clamps are used for jobs in which one deals primarily with pipes. A plumber, for example might have a need for conduit clamps, or a construction worker who is building a hose. Home Depot always has a large selection of conduit clamps available.


How would you ensure that underground services pipes cables etc will not be damaged by planting or root growth?

The best way would be to use rigid PVC conduit for electrical installations. Glue the joints well so that no water can penetrate. As an additional protection the conduit can be embedded in concrete. If this route is chosen, have at least three inches of concrete surround the conduit. Using cinder building blocks on their side and feeding the conduit through them will stop the conduit from floating to the surface when the concrete is poured. Using a form along side the cinder block's ends will save on concrete. The forms can be stripped when the concrete sets up or can be left in place and just buried.

Is there anything to align when replacing a clutch in a 98 Frontier 2wd or is it straight forward?

there is a tool that aligns the clutch disc with the pilot bushing to center it so that the input shaft will line up with the splines in the disc and pilot bushing. These are usually included with the kit which should include the tool, disc pressure plate, pilot bushing, throwout bearing, maybe spline grease. Also, lube the end of input shaft (go easy on the grease) and throwout bearing ball pivot and throwout bearing sleeve(what it rides on). Also when installing new bushing, don't use a punch to install or you will pean over edges and play hell getting input shaft in (use driver tool). Don't get any grease on the disc. Have flywheel resurfaced.
