Anti Short Bushings 50pcs 5/16-3/8in Threlaco Disconnect Connectors

Description

Product Overview

The 50‑piece anti‑short bushings from Threlaco are engineered to safeguard electrical cables against the hazards of sharp edges and accidental contact. Each bushing measures 5/16‑3/8 inch, making it compatible with a wide range of AC and FMC cable sizes, including 14/2, 14/3, and 12/2 conductors. Crafted from high‑impact resistant plastic, the bushings provide an insulated barrier that prevents unwanted current flow, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock. The design incorporates a quick‑disconnect feature that allows installers to attach and detach the connector with minimal effort, ensuring a secure fit without the need for additional tools. With a total package weight of just 2.08 ounces, the set is lightweight yet robust enough for demanding industrial and residential applications.

Usage

These bushings are ideal for a variety of environments where cable protection and ease of installation are paramount. In residential wiring projects, they can be used to terminate the ends of Romex® or similar non‑metallic sheathed cables, preventing the copper strands from cutting into adjacent surfaces. For commercial and industrial settings, the bushings serve as a reliable solution for terminating larger gauge FMC (Flexible Metal Conduit) cables, especially in panels, junction boxes, and conduit runs where space is limited. DIY hobbyists will appreciate the straightforward snap‑in installation, while professional electricians will value the consistent performance across multiple installations, from new construction to retrofit upgrades. The insulated construction also makes these bushings suitable for outdoor or damp locations, as the plastic material resists moisture ingress and corrosion.
