Crouse-Hinds 303DC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes do Crouse-Hinds offset conduit nipples come in?
The Crouse-Hinds die-cast offset nipples run 1/2 inch through 2 inch trade size: 300DC (1/2"), 301DC (3/4"), 302DC (1"), 303DC (1-1/4"), 304DC (1-1/2") and 305DC (2"). Match the nipple to the trade size of the rigid or IMC conduit you are joining, not to the box opening, since the threads are standard rigid conduit threads at that size.
2) Can I use an offset nipple to connect conduit to a box when the runs don't line up?
That is exactly the job. An offset nipple has its two threaded ends on parallel but non-aligned axes, so it takes up the small step between a box hub and a conduit run, or between two pieces of equipment whose openings do not line up. It saves bending an offset into rigid or IMC in the field. These are threaded for rigid and IMC conduit.
3) Are Crouse-Hinds 300DC offset nipples rated for a hazardous or classified location?
No. The DC series offset nipples are rated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only. If the run passes through a Class I or Class II classified area, a zinc die-cast ordinary-location fitting is the wrong choice there, and you need an explosionproof fitting listed for that class and division instead.
4) Will a die-cast zinc offset nipple work on EMT?
No. These offset nipples are made for rigid metal conduit and IMC, which use threaded connections. EMT is not threaded, so the nipple threads will not engage it. For EMT you need a set-screw or compression offset connector instead.
5) What material are Crouse-Hinds DC offset nipples made of, and will they hold up outdoors?
Zinc die cast. That gives reasonable corrosion resistance for general commercial and industrial interior work, but the fitting is classified for ordinary, non-hazardous locations, so treat the environment accordingly. For wet, washdown, or chemically aggressive areas, a malleable iron or PVC-coated fitting is the usual specification.
6) Do these offset nipples meet NEC requirements for a commercial electrical inspection?
The Crouse-Hinds DC offset nipples are built to NEC/CEC standards, which is what an inspector looks for on a threaded rigid or IMC fitting in an ordinary location. They maintain the metallic path through the offset, so the conduit system stays continuous across the fitting.
7) Do I need locknuts or bushings with a Crouse-Hinds offset nipple, or is it a complete connection?
The offset nipple itself is just the threaded body. Where an end lands in a box or enclosure knockout rather than a threaded hub, you still supply the locknuts and, where required, an insulated bushing or grounding locknut. Where it threads into a hub or a coupling on the conduit, no extra hardware is needed. Order by trade size, 1/2 inch through 2 inch.
8) Can I standardize on one part number for offset nipples across a building, or do I need a different one per size?
One part number per trade size. The DC offset nipples are size-specific: 300DC for 1/2 inch, 301DC for 3/4 inch, 302DC for 1 inch, 303DC for 1-1/4 inch, 304DC for 1-1/2 inch, 305DC for 2 inch. Facilities stocking a spares kit usually carry 1/2 and 3/4 inch in quantity, since those cover most branch-circuit rigid and IMC work.
