Steel City HO227-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a rigid offset nipple used for on a conduit run?
An offset nipple is a short threaded fitting with a built-in jog, used to connect a conduit run or an enclosure hub to another opening that is not in line with it, so you avoid bending conduit or springing a box. The Steel City HO227-1 is the 2-1/2 inch size for rigid and IMC conduit.
2) Is the HO227-1 offset nipple steel or aluminum, and is it coated?
It is an iron body with a zinc finish, which is the usual coating for rigid conduit fittings in damp or general commercial locations. If your job calls for aluminum fittings to match aluminum conduit, this is not the right part.
3) Do I need locknuts and bushings with a 2-1/2 inch offset nipple?
The HO227-1 ships as the nipple itself, so you supply whatever terminations the opening needs, typically 2-1/2 inch locknuts on each side and a bushing where conductors pass into an enclosure. Nothing else is included with the fitting.
4) Can I use an offset nipple instead of bending the conduit between two panels?
That is exactly what it is for. Where two enclosure hubs or a hub and a conduit end sit close together but out of line, the offset nipple bridges the mismatch in one piece rather than forcing a pair of offset bends in 2-1/2 inch rigid. For inline connections with no jog, use a straight conduit nipple in the same 2-1/2 inch size instead.
5) Does the Steel City HO227-1 come in a box of several or is it sold one at a time?
It is sold each, so one nipple per unit ordered. Count your offsets per enclosure and order accordingly.
6) Where is the Steel City HO227-1 nipple made?
Country of origin is India. That matters on public work where a buy-American or domestic-content clause is written into the spec, so check the contract language before you commit this one to a government or federally funded job.
