Bridgeport Fittings 1520-RT Raintight Offset Conduit Nipple, Die Cast Zinc, 1/2"

The Bridgeport Fittings 1520-RT Raintight Offset Conduit Nipple is a 1/2" die cast zinc fitting engineered to join conduit sections at a slight offset while maintaining a raintight seal for outdoor and exposed installations. Built from durable die cast zinc for corrosion resistance and long service life, this offset nipple provides a compact connection point for electrical raceway systems where a slight alignment offset is required between conduit runs. The offset geometry allows electricians to route conduit around obstructions or align mismatched conduit entries without adding extra fittings or elbows. Its raintight construction makes it well suited for weather-exposed conduit installations where moisture protection at the connection point is essential for a code-compliant raceway system. This nipple is designed for use in commercial and industrial electrical systems where a compact, weather-resistant offset connection is needed.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" sizing for compact offset transitions between conduit runs.
  • Durable Construction: Die cast zinc construction offers corrosion resistance and rigidity for long-term reliability in demanding environments.
  • Offset Design: Built-in offset geometry aligns conduit runs and clears obstructions without requiring additional fittings.
  • Raintight Sealing: Raintight design helps protect the conduit connection in outdoor and wet-exposed applications.
  • Compact Profile: The 1/2" offset nipple maintains a low-profile footprint suited for tight conduit runs.
  • Versatile Use: Suited for commercial and industrial conduit systems requiring a raintight offset connection.

Bridgeport Fittings 1520-RT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Bridgeport Fittings 1520-RT offset nipple used for on a conduit run?
The 1520-RT is a 1/2 inch offset conduit nipple. It joins two conduit sections that don't line up, so you can clear an obstruction or meet a mismatched enclosure entry without adding an elbow or a pair of extra fittings. The built-in offset geometry does the alignment work in one short fitting.
2) Can the 1520-RT be used outdoors or in a wet location?
Yes. The 1520-RT is a raintight offset nipple, built to keep the connection point sealed on weather-exposed and wet-location conduit runs. That is what separates it from a plain offset nipple, which is only suitable for dry indoor raceway.
3) What material is the 1520-RT nipple made of, and will it hold up in a corrosive outdoor environment?
Die cast zinc. Zinc die-cast gives the fitting rigidity plus corrosion resistance, which is why it is specified for exposed and weather-facing raceway rather than a plated steel fitting that will show rust at the threads.
4) Should I use an offset nipple or a regular straight nipple between my panel and the conduit run?
Use a straight nipple when the two entries are in line. Choose the 1520-RT offset version when the conduit run sits slightly out of plane with the enclosure or box entry, for example bringing a surface-run raceway into a panelboard knockout that sits back from the wall face. The offset absorbs that step so you don't stack a pair of elbows to get there.
5) Is the Bridgeport 1520-RT suitable for commercial and industrial conduit systems, or is it a residential fitting?
It is specified for commercial and industrial electrical raceway as well as general conduit work, including renovation and new construction runs. Property maintenance crews use the same fitting for exterior panel feeds where a raintight offset connection is needed.
