American Fittings CN100 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the American Fittings CN chase nipple UL listed for inspection sign-off?
It carries a UL 514B, 467 listing. The 467 portion is the grounding and bonding standard, which matters when the fitting is part of the equipment grounding path through a knockout. It also conforms to NEMA FB 1 and Federal Specification A-A-50553.
2) Does this chase nipple meet Buy American requirements for a federal or municipal job?
Yes. The CN steel chase nipple is made in the United States and the product data states Buy American Act and ARRA compliance, along with the Federal Specification A-A-50553 conformance that government work often calls out. That combination is what gets it through a federally funded submittal.
3) What is a chase nipple used for in a conduit run?
A chase nipple joins conduit to an enclosure or another fitting through a knockout, giving a threaded male connection that takes a locknut on the far side. The American Fittings CN is the steel version of that fitting, made for conduit-to-conduit connections in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical work.
4) Do I need a locknut with the chase nipple or is one included?
The CN chase nipple is sold as the nipple itself, by trade size. A chase nipple threads through the knockout and is secured with a locknut on the opposite side, so order locknuts in the matching trade size separately along with any sealing or bonding hardware the installation calls for.
5) Is a steel chase nipple the right choice, or should I use zinc die cast?
Go steel where the fitting needs mechanical strength: industrial conduit systems, larger trade sizes, or anywhere the enclosure may take a knock. The CN is steel through the full 3/4 inch to 4 inch range. Die cast fittings are lighter duty by nature; for a 4 inch connection on an industrial panel, the steel body is the one to spec.
