Zusammenfassung:A grounding bushing with a central opening for electrically grounding a conduit, electrical metal tubing (EMT), or a pipe. The grounding bushing includes a stationary bushing portion and a rotatable bushing portion having slotted ends held together by mounting fasteners. The slotted ends permit rotation of the rotatable bushing portion away from the stationary bushing portion. After attachment to a conduit or similar structure, one or more mounting fasteners can be loosened to allow installation of additional wires through the central opening and into the conduit, EMT, or pipe. An electrically insulated liner extending around the entire inner periphery of the bushing prevents chafing or abrasion of any electrical wires by the end of the conduit.
