ABB 1945 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a chase nipple actually used for on a metal box?
A chase nipple bushes a factory or field-punched, cut, or drilled hole in a metal box or enclosure, and it couples two metal boxes back-to-back. The ABB 1945 does both. It is not a conduit-to-box connector for cable; it is the fitting you reach for when you need a finished, insulated opening or a short rigid tie between two enclosures.
2) Will the ABB 1945 chase nipple work with rigid and IMC conduit?
Yes. The 1945 is built for Rigid and IMC (intermediate metal conduit) systems, in 1-1/4 inch trade size. Match the trade size to the box knockout, not to the conduit OD.
3) Can I use a chase nipple instead of a conduit coupling to join two boxes?
For two metal boxes mounted face to face, yes, that is exactly what the chase nipple is for. A coupling joins two lengths of conduit; the chase nipple passes through the knockouts of the two enclosures and locknuts pull them together. Use the 1-1/4 inch ABB 1945 where both boxes have matching 1-1/4 inch openings.
4) Does this ABB chase nipple protect wire insulation during a pull?
The throat is nylon-insulated, so conductors passing through ride on nylon rather than a cut metal edge. That is the point of the insulated version over a plain malleable iron chase nipple, and it matters on larger conductor pulls through a punched opening.
5) Malleable iron or die-cast zinc chase nipple for an industrial enclosure?
The ABB 1945 body is malleable iron, which takes impact and resists corrosion better than pot-metal fittings in plant and industrial environments. If you are working a rigid or IMC system in a rough location, malleable iron is the right spec; a lighter zinc fitting is usually reserved for dry indoor EMT work.
6) How does the ABB 1945 chase nipple come packaged for a job order?
It ships 10 to a box, so an order is counted in tens of pieces rather than singles. Plan quantities accordingly when you are bushing a run of enclosures.
