Steel City HO223-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Steel City HO223-1 offset nipple connect?
The HO223-1 is a 3/4 inch offset nipple, so it threads into 3/4 inch rigid or IMC conduit and 3/4 inch knockouts. It is sold individually, one nipple per order.
2) Why would I use an offset nipple instead of a straight chase nipple?
An offset nipple like the HO223-1 steps the run sideways, so you can tie two enclosures together when their knockouts do not line up on the same plane, such as a panel mounted against a box or a meter can to a disconnect. A straight chase nipple only works when the two openings are dead in line. If your knockouts align, use a straight nipple; if they are offset by the thickness of an enclosure wall or a mounting flange, this is the fitting for it.
3) Will this offset nipple work on EMT?
No. The HO223-1 is threaded for rigid and IMC conduit, so it mates with threaded raceway and threaded hubs or knockouts with locknuts. For EMT you need an EMT offset connector or a set screw/compression fitting instead.
4) How much length does the HO223-1 offset nipple add to the run?
It measures 2.68 inches in net depth/length, so allow roughly that much clearance between the two enclosures or fittings you are joining.
5) Is the Steel City HO223-1 nipple UL listed?
Yes, it carries UL file listing E23018.
6) Is the HO223-1 offset nipple steel or die cast?
Zinc die cast, not malleable iron or steel. That matters for wet or corrosive locations and for anywhere the fitting takes mechanical abuse, where a malleable iron fitting is the tougher choice. For normal dry interior panel-to-box connections, die cast is standard practice.
7) Does the Steel City HO223-1 come with locknuts?
The item ships as a single nipple, one each. Plan on supplying the locknuts and any sealing rings or bushings your installation calls for.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for this Steel City offset nipple, and where is it made?
The part number is HO223-1, from Steel City, made in India.
