Frequently asked questions

Does this bushing fit standard round cable sizes?

Yes, the RPI RPB166 is precision-engineered for round cable types with a cord outer diameter (OD) ranging from .250 to .290 inches.

Is the mounting process straightforward for panels?

Absolutely. These bushings are designed for efficiency and require a standard 1/2 inch mounting hole, making them compatible with most common panel and enclosure installations.

How many units come in a single package?

Each order includes a bulk pack of 15 individual strain relief bushings, ensuring you have sufficient stock on hand for multiple cable management projects.

Are there specific tools recommended for installation?

While these can be installed manually, RPI offers specialized tooling to ensure a perfect fit:

  • Strain Relief Bushing Pliers (RPI Part #RPT172): Specifically designed to seat these bushings securely.
  • Strain Relief Bushing Kit (RPI Part #RPK412): Recommended for comprehensive service and maintenance needs.
What type of environment is this bushing best for?

These are professional-grade components ideal for electrical installations in machinery, appliances, and control panels where reliable cable security and protection against pull or friction are required.

Is this a durable, high-quality component?

Yes, this is a factory-new product manufactured to meet strict electrical standards for strain relief (Bushing Type: SR-5P-4), ensuring long-term protection for your wiring connections.

Can I use this for signal cords?

Yes, as long as the cable is round and falls within the specified .250 to .290 inch outer diameter range, this bushing provides excellent strain relief for both power and signal cords.

How should I choose the right bushing for my cable?

Selection should be based on your cable’s outer diameter (OD). If your round cable measures between .250 and .290 inches, the RPB166 is the correct specification for your application.

Is this bushing compatible with standard enclosure wall thicknesses?

The RPB166 is designed as a standard Type SR-5P-4 bushing, intended to fit into a 1/2 inch mounting hole commonly found in industry-standard electrical enclosures and equipment panels.

What is the primary benefit of using this specific bushing?

The primary benefit is cable security. By using the RPB166, you effectively anchor the cord to the panel, which:

  • Prevents strain from being transferred to internal electrical connections.
  • Protects the cable jacket from sharp panel edges.
  • Ensures a professional, code-compliant finish for your electrical enclosures.
