Abstract:
A push-type grounding bushing has an electrically conductive body having a first end, a second end, a bore formed therethrough, and an intermediate shoulder stop to contact an end of a conduit. The bushing has with a locking device gripping tabs forming a helix so that the conduit can be pushed and held in the locking device and removed by rotating the conduit relative to the body. A throat insulator is placed into the second end of the body and has a flange to cover the second end. An electrically conducting lug is secured to the body and has a recess or bore for receipt of at least one electrical conductor to ground the bushing while a fastener mechanically and electrically secures the conductor to the lug.
