Engineered Anti-Short Bushing, 35-Pack

The BX-FLEX is designed to protect conductors from the sharp edges of raceways where cables or conduits have been cut. It is intended for use with armored cable sizes 14-2, 14-3, and 12-2, as well as 5/16" flexible metal conduit (FMC). Constructed from plastic, the BX-FLEX is CSA-listed and sold in packs of 35, with each unit individually bagged.

Primarily, the BX-FLEX safeguards wires against the potentially abrasive inner surfaces of armored cable (AC) and flexible metal conduit. It is suitable for both aluminum and steel AC in the 14/2, 14/3, and 12/2 configurations, in addition to 5/16-inch FMC.

The actual trade size of the BX-FLEX is equivalent to 5/16 inches, making it compatible with the specified cable and conduit sizes. Its plastic construction ensures a durable and secure fit, preventing damage to the enclosed conductors.

By inserting the BX-FLEX at the end of the armored cable or flexible metal conduit, users can effectively shield the wires from the sharp edges of the raceway where cuts have been made. This safeguards the integrity of the electrical system and helps prevent potential issues, such as short circuits or wire damage, that could arise from exposed sharp edges.

The CSA listing of the BX-FLEX provides assurance of its quality and compliance with relevant safety standards. The individual bagging of each unit in the 35-pack further enhances the product's protection and convenience for users.

In summary, the BX-FLEX is a crucial accessory for anyone working with armored cable or flexible metal conduit. Its plastic construction, trade size compatibility, and ability to shield wires from sharp raceway edges make it an essential tool for maintaining the safety and reliability of electrical installations.
