Arlington Industries 505 Zinc Bushed Conduit Nipple, 1-1/2"

The Arlington Industries 505 Zinc Bushed Conduit Nipple is a 1-1/2" trade size fitting engineered to join two conduit entry points into a single, continuous raceway run. Manufactured from durable zinc for reliable corrosion resistance, this bushed nipple threads securely into standard conduit hubs, boxes, and enclosures. Its double-bushed configuration helps shield conductor insulation from abrasion at each connection point, making it a practical, code-conscious choice for electricians who need a dependable 1-1/2" zinc fitting for joining conduit sections or connecting two enclosures at adjacent knockouts. This compact nipple style is a common solution when a full run of conduit isn't needed to bridge a short gap between fittings, and it is designed for professional installers who need a corrosion-resistant fitting that meets everyday conduit connection needs.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1-1/2" nipple sized to connect conduit runs, boxes, and enclosures at matching knockouts.
  • Durable Construction: Solid zinc body resists corrosion and provides long-lasting mechanical strength in standard electrical installations.
  • Bushed Design: Bushed ends on both sides help protect conductor insulation from damage as wires are pulled through the fitting.
  • Threaded Connection: Threads into standard conduit hubs and box openings for a secure mechanical and electrical bond between enclosures.
  • Compact Fitting Profile: Short-body nipple design allows two enclosures or conduit sections to be joined in tight spaces where a full conduit run isn't practical.
  • Standard Compatibility: Sized to work with standard 1-1/2" conduit knockouts and fittings for straightforward installation.
  • Professional-Grade Fitting: Designed for use by licensed electricians and contractors on commercial and industrial conduit systems.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Conduit and Raceway Systems
  • Panelboard and Enclosure Connections
  • Commercial and Industrial Electrical Installations
  • New Construction and Retrofit Wiring Projects
  • Joining Boxes and Enclosures at Adjacent Knockouts
  • Short-Gap Conduit Connections in Tight Spaces

Arlington Industries ARL505 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size conduit does the Arlington 505 bushed nipple fit?
The Arlington 505 is a 1-1/2 inch trade size nipple. It threads into standard 1-1/2 inch conduit hubs, box openings, and knockouts, so it mates with 1-1/2 inch fittings on both ends. For any other trade size you need a different nipple; the 505 is a single-size part.
2) Can I use a 1-1/2 inch nipple to join two enclosures mounted side by side?
That is the main use for it. The 505 has a short body so it bridges two adjacent knockouts and ties the enclosures together mechanically and electrically without running a length of conduit between them. Both knockouts have to be 1-1/2 inch and line up with each other.
3) What does bushed mean on a conduit nipple, and do I still need separate bushings?
Bushed means the nipple has an insulating-style bushed end on each side, shaped to protect conductor insulation as wire is pulled through. Because both ends are bushed, you are not adding separate bushings at the nipple itself. The Arlington 505 is a double-bushed 1-1/2 inch fitting.
4) Is a zinc conduit nipple suitable for damp or corrosive locations?
The 505 body is solid zinc, chosen for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in standard electrical installations. That makes it a reasonable pick for general commercial and industrial work where a plain steel fitting would rust. Severe or chemical environments call for a fitting specified for that exposure.
5) Nipple or a short piece of threaded conduit with couplings, which should I use?
When the gap between two boxes or fittings is only an inch or two, a nipple is the simpler answer: one part, threaded on both ends, no couplings, and in the case of the Arlington 505 the ends are already bushed for wire protection. Cutting and threading a stub of 1-1/2 inch conduit plus two couplings adds parts and takes more space than most tight enclosure-to-enclosure connections allow.
6) Does the 505 nipple come with locknuts?
The 505 is the nipple itself, a zinc double-bushed 1-1/2 inch body. Locknuts for securing it through a knockout are ordered separately, so add 1-1/2 inch locknuts to the order if the boxes are not hub-tapped.
7) What is the Arlington part number for the 1-1/2 inch zinc bushed nipple?
Order it as Arlington Industries 505. That number covers the 1-1/2 inch zinc bushed nipple; there is one configuration, so size is the only thing to confirm when specifying it.
