Eaton ASB 2 Anti-Short Bushing - NEC/CEC Ready
Part Number: ASB 2
Quick Summary
The Eaton ASB 2 anti-short bushing protects AC/MC and FMC conduit penetrations, delivering reliable seals in electrical enclosures. When space is tight or retrofit work disrupts panel operations, improper bushings can cause shorts and costly downtime. It carries NEC/CEC compliance and Canadian certifications for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, and is rated up to 90°C for demanding environments. Its compact 7/16 in trade size and exact 0.75 in length simplify installation while maintaining robust protection, helping you meet safety and performance goals. For engineers and procurement teams, the ASB 2 reduces risk, supports compliant assemblies, and extends service life in control panels. Its compact packaging and readily available documentation streamline approvals and sourcing.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ASB 2
Compact 7/16 in trade size anti-short bushing delivers a space-saving protection for conduit terminations, enabling tighter fits and faster installs in crowded panels and machine enclosures. This translates to reduced field modification time and lower labor costs on retrofit projects, while preserving a secure seal against dust and moisture. The 90°C temperature rating supports operation in hot industrial environments, maintaining insulation integrity and minimizing start-up delays during peak loads. By supporting AC/MC and FMC conduits with a single reusable component, it reduces inventory complexity and training needs for technicians working across multiple projects. The ASB 2’s small footprint, 0.75 in length, and lightweight design ease the mounting process in confined spaces, improving overall installation quality and consistency. Compliance with NEC/CEC and Canadian certifications accelerates approvals, while ordinary-location ratings expand applicability across commercial facilities, data centers, and manufacturing floors. This practical, multi-standard compatibility helps engineering teams achieve safer, cost-efficient panel assemblies with fewer parts and fewer touchpoints during commissioning.

FAQs
The ASB 2 is designed for AC/MC and FMC conduits with a 7/16 in trade size. It measures 0.75 in in length, 0.5 in in height, and 0.5 in in width, offering a compact solution that fits tightly in control panels and industrial enclosures. This compatibility reduces the need for multiple bushings across projects and simplifies stocking for maintenance teams.
ASB 2 meets NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Canadian certification support is indicated by the provided compliance documents, helping you streamline approvals in multi-region installations without redesigns. The 90°C rating further supports reliability in higher-temperature environments common to manufacturing floors.
Yes. The compact 7/16 in trade size and precise 0.75 in length simplify mounting in constrained panels, reducing prep work and the number of parts required. Its single-part design for AC/MC and FMC conduits minimizes configuration steps, cutting commissioning time and lowering the risk of improper installations that could cause on-site outages.
The ASB 2 is rated to 90°C, making it suitable for environments with elevated ambient temperatures near electrical gear. This rating supports insulation integrity during peak loads and hot-running equipment, helping sustain long-term reliability in machine rooms, process lines, and automation cabinets without compromising safety.
ASB 2 is part of the Crouse-Hinds family designed to work with other clamps, anti-short bushings, and grommets. Its 7/16 in trade size and NEC/CEC compliance align with Eaton catalog offerings, enabling straightforward substitution across projects and reducing training requirements for installation teams.
