Steel City HA 206 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a chase nipple used for on rigid or IMC conduit?
A chase nipple is a short threaded fitting used to connect conduit into a box or enclosure where you need a male thread on one side and a shoulder that seats against the enclosure wall. The Steel City HA 206 is the 2 inch size for rigid metal conduit and IMC. It threads through the knockout and takes a locknut on the inside to clamp the fitting to the box wall.
2) Does the HA 206 chase nipple come with a locknut?
It is sold as a single fitting, each, and the description covers the chase nipple only. Plan on ordering 2 inch conduit locknuts separately to secure it inside the box, plus a bushing if your installation requires one on the conductor side.
3) Will a 2 inch chase nipple thread into a 2 inch rigid conduit coupling or a 2 inch knockout?
Yes on both counts. The HA 206 is cut to 2 inch rigid/IMC trade size threads, which are NPT style conduit threads, so it mates with a standard 2 inch rigid coupling, a threaded hub, or a 2 inch knockout in a box or enclosure with a locknut behind it. Trade size is the controlling dimension here, not the actual OD.
4) Will the HA 206 work with EMT?
No. It is threaded for rigid metal conduit and IMC, which are threaded raceways. EMT is not threaded, so a 2 inch EMT run needs a set screw or compression connector at the box instead. Where you have to join EMT to a threaded system, land the EMT on a connector and use the chase nipple for the rigid or IMC side.
5) Is the Steel City HA 206 chase nipple steel or zinc?
Zinc die cast, not steel. That matters if your spec calls for a malleable iron or steel fitting on a particular install, or if the fitting will be torqued hard on assembly. For general dry indoor rigid and IMC connections into boxes and enclosures, die cast zinc is the standard material for this fitting class.
6) Can I use this chase nipple outdoors or in a wet location?
Treat the HA 206 as a standard, non-gasketed chase nipple. Nothing in its data designates it raintight or for wet locations, so for an outdoor or damp enclosure entry use a fitting specifically rated raintight with a sealing gasket instead. Indoors, in dry locations, it is the normal way to make a 2 inch rigid or IMC entry into a box.
7) Where is the Steel City HA 206 made?
India. Worth knowing if you are bidding a job with domestic sourcing requirements, such as a federal or Buy America project, where a foreign origin fitting would have to be substituted.
