Steel City HA205 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a chase nipple used for in a conduit run?
A chase nipple is a short male-threaded fitting used to join a box or enclosure to another fitting or hub. The Steel City HA205 is a straight-pattern chase nipple with external thread, so it threads into a tapped hub or knockout and is secured on the inside with a locknut. It is a coupling-type conduit fitting, not a connector for cable.
2) What is the Steel City HA205 chase nipple made of, and can it be used outdoors or in wet locations?
Zinc die cast body. There is no gasket or sealing element on the HA205, so it does not make a watertight or raintight joint on its own. For wet, damp, or washdown locations you want a fitting that is specifically listed as raintight with a sealing ring or a sealing locknut added.
3) How many HA205 chase nipples come in a box, and what does a full case weigh?
They ship 25 to the inner box and 100 to the outer carton. A hundred pieces weigh 20.69 lbs, which is the number to use when you are figuring freight or staging material on a floor.
4) Does a chase nipple come with a locknut, or do I need to order those separately?
The HA205 is sold as the nipple only. Plan on a steel or zinc locknut sized to the same trade size for each nipple, plus an insulating bushing if the installation calls for one on the conductor side.
5) Should I use a chase nipple or a conduit coupling to join two enclosures?
Different jobs. A coupling joins two lengths of conduit end to end. A chase nipple like the HA205 is what you use when you are tying an enclosure to a fitting or hub through a knockout, short male thread out, locknut behind it. If you are joining two boxes back to back with nothing between them, that is a close nipple or a box connector, not a chase nipple.
6) What are the case dimensions for the Steel City HA205 chase nipples?
The inner box measures 5.1 x 7.3 x 9 inches and the outer carton 18.79 x 10.8 x 7.8 inches. Useful if you are fitting stock onto a van shelf or a job trailer rack.
