Choose the Correct Fit
Match the 1/2 in conduit size and mild-steel application. Use the matching 49-16-2660 die.
Confirm the draw stud and material thickness against your knockout tool instructions. A shared conduit size does not prove all parts interchange.
Installation & Care
With power removed, assemble the punch and die around one layer of material. Engage the threads fully before operating.
Keep fingers clear of the cutting area. Remove the slug and inspect the cutting edges and threads after each use.
