Do you put plastic bushings on 1/2 and 3/4 EMT connectors? Or only when code required (is it #4 or larger?).

Sometimes we do in things like panels. For boxes generally no unless there is a large homerun EMT with lot's of conductors in it.

In my opinion, their use is optional, like bushings for MC cable. I generally don't bother.

I'm thinking of using them more often in smaller sizes (on EMT connectors where they are not required). I honestly havent had many problems, but it always gives me some slight pause when I'm putting a cover on a full 4 sq. The other thing, I did some EMT at my house, recently, and granted everything at my house gets done super primo, bit I put bushings on all the 1/2 and 3/4 connectors. It's a nice touch I think.
