Technical Specifications

This conduit bushed nipple features 3/4" trade size compatibility with both rigid and IMC conduit systems. The zinc die cast construction provides dimensions of 3.43" length, 2.14" width, and 1.94" height, with a lightweight 0.05 lb design. The non-insulated throat design maintains electrical continuity while the bushed interior protects conductor insulation. Manufactured to NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations with superior corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required extension length
2. Thread the bushed nipple hand-tight into the first conduit or fitting
3. Apply appropriate thread compound to ensure weatherproof seal
4. Connect the second conduit section, ensuring proper thread engagement
5. Tighten connections using appropriate wrenches, avoiding over-torquing
6. Verify grounding continuity across the connection if required by installation

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and warehouse installations
• Panel Extensions - Extending conduit runs from electrical panels and distribution equipment
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and machinery connections
• Conduit System Repairs - Replacing damaged sections or extending existing runs
• Municipal Projects - Schools, government buildings, and public infrastructure
• Maintenance Applications - Electrical system modifications and upgrades
• New Construction - Commercial and industrial electrical rough-in work

Conduit Bushed Nipple System Benefits

Conduit bushed nipples provide the most reliable method for extending rigid and IMC conduit runs while maintaining system integrity. Unlike standard nipples, the bushed design protects conductor insulation during wire pulling operations, reducing the risk of damage and code violations. The threaded design creates secure mechanical connections that won't loosen over time, while the non-insulated construction maintains proper grounding continuity throughout the electrical system.

Why Choose Zinc Die Cast Construction?

Zinc die cast construction offers superior dimensional accuracy and consistency compared to other manufacturing methods. The precision casting process ensures perfect thread engagement and eliminates the tolerance variations common in other materials. Zinc's natural corrosion resistance provides long-term protection without additional coatings, while the material's strength-to-weight ratio delivers professional-grade performance in a lightweight package that reduces installation fatigue.
