Eaton Crouse-Hinds HS1038 Throat Bushing - 150°C
Part Number: HS1038
Quick Summary
The HS1038 throat bushing from Eaton Crouse-Hinds protects and insulates rigid/IMC conduits in industrial electrical installations. Installers often face compatibility gaps, insulation failures, and heat tolerance limits that slow projects or cause rework in harsh environments. With UL certification for rigid-IMC fittings and NEC/CEC compliance, plus a 150°C insulation rating for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, this part meets critical safety and performance standards. The design combines a set-screw, threadless body with insulated malleable iron for quick, secure installs, while the 3-inch trade size supports common field needs. This translates to reduced downtime, fewer spare parts, and greater reliability in control panels and outdoor enclosures.

Eaton Specification Sheet - HS1038
Feature: Conduit compatibility with rigid/IMC systems. Business Impact: Ensures seamless integration with standard conduit runs, reducing configuration errors and rework. Application: Best for panel feeds and machine wiring in industrial environments where rigid/IMC is required. The result is faster installs and improved project predictability. Feature: Insulated, malleable iron body. Business Impact: Delivers robust mechanical protection with reliable electrical insulation, lowering risk of arcing and heat transfer. Application: Suitable for high-heat zones and equipment enclosures in manufacturing lines. This enhances safety and long-term durability. Feature: Threadless, set-screw design. Business Impact: Simplifies installation and alignment, enabling quicker field assembly and reducing tool requirements. Application: Ideal for in-field splices and retrofit work where space is constrained. Expect reduced labor time and fewer installation errors. Feature: Temperature rating of 150°C. Business Impact: Supports operation under elevated ambient temperatures and equipment heat, maintaining insulation integrity. Application: Critical for motors, drives, and instrumentation enclosures in busy factories. This minimizes performance degradation and unplanned maintenance. Feature: 3-inch trade size with insulated construction. Business Impact: Fits common conduit sizes while maintaining insulation performance, decreasing need for adapters. Application: Useful for main feeds and branch runs in control panels and switchgear assemblies. This translates to lower inventory variety and faster procurement. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification. Business Impact: Provides regulatory confidence and safer installation in both US and Canadian markets. Application: Required for compliance-heavy projects in industrial facilities, water treatment, and process plants. This reduces audit risk and site rework.
