Crouse-Hinds series RE, REA and REC explosionproof reducers are used in rigid/IMC conduit systems to reduce conduit hubs to a smaller size (RE), connect two different sizes of conduit together (REC) or enlarge drilled and tapped openings by one NPT size (REA). PLG explosionproof plugs are used for closing threaded conduit hubs.
RE reducers have:
– Integral bushing which prevents damage to wires
– Full, clean cut tapered threads
REC reducers have:
– Integral bushings in both ends which prevent damage to wires
– Funnel shaped interior to guide the wires from large to small conduit, making it easy to pull wire
REA adapters have:
– Smooth integral bushing to protect wire insulation
– Knurled body for easy wrenching
PLG plugs:
– Have clean tapered threads
– Are available in two styles: flush (recessed) or square head type
