Product launch provides comprehensive selection of ABB sealing hub-type terminating fittings

ABB Installation Products Inc., formerly Thomas & Betts, now offers Steel City® commercial hubs , which terminate rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in an enclosure or box with an exceptionally watertight seal.

The new Steel City commercial hubs, along with ABB’s established line of T&B® sealing hub-type terminating fittings, offer a comprehensive selection of rigid and IMC products that ranges from heavy-industrial to commercial applications. Steel City commercial hubs are available in standard and grounding versions.

“The Steel City commercial hubs are an important addition to the Steel City product line,’’ said Dan Michaelis, ABB  lead product marketing manager. “This launch provides our customers with flexibility in planning commercial, light-industrial and residential applications. Steel City commercial hubs are economical without sacrificing the high quality that customers have come to expect from the Steel City brand.”
