Description
The HALEX/SCOTT FETZER 96831 is a zinc plated steel reducing washer sold in a 2-pack configuration. It steps down a 1-inch knockout or opening to accept a 1/2-inch conduit fitting, allowing electricians to reuse oversized knockouts without cutting new holes or replacing enclosures. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard indoor and protected outdoor installations. This washer seats flat against the enclosure wall and is secured by the locknut of the 1/2-inch fitting. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install these washers as a standard part of conduit rough-in work.
This reducing washer is intended for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit systems. It is a common solution when a junction box, panel, or enclosure has a 1-inch knockout and the installed conduit run calls for 1/2-inch trade size conduit. The 2-pack format supports typical service calls and small installations where two connections of the same size reduction are needed at once.
Key Features
- Reduces a 1-inch opening to accept a 1/2-inch conduit fitting
- Zinc plated steel construction for corrosion resistance
- Compatible with rigid and IMC conduit systems
- Sold as a 2-pack in a UPC-labeled polybag

Compatibility

Installation Notes
Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for conduit fittings and enclosure entry points. De-energize the enclosure before opening it and installing any fittings. Seat the reducing washer flat in the knockout before threading on the conduit fitting locknut. Do not force or deform the washer, as proper seating ensures a secure mechanical connection.
