Steel City HO 225 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Steel City HO 225 offset nipple used for?
It is an offset nipple for rigid and IMC conduit, used to make a short jog between two threaded openings that do not line up, such as connecting conduit to a box or enclosure where the knockout sits off the run. The catalogue designation reads "1 1/2 NIPPLE, OFFSET 3/4, RGD/IMC", so it is the 3/4 rigid/IMC offset fitting in that family and it threads on like any other rigid/IMC nipple.
2) Will the Steel City HO 225 work with EMT conduit?
No. The HO 225 is threaded for rigid and IMC conduit, not EMT. EMT is unthreaded and needs a set screw or compression connector instead. If the run is EMT and you still need the offset, transition to rigid/IMC at the enclosure or use an EMT offset connector.
3) Do I need a locknut and bushing with a rigid conduit offset nipple?
Yes, in most installs. An offset nipple like the HO 225 threads through the enclosure knockout, and the knockout end still needs a locknut to secure it and a bushing to protect the conductors at the thread. Those are separate items and are not part of the nipple.
4) Is the Steel City HO 225 sold individually or in a box of fittings?
Each. The selling unit is a single offset nipple, so order the exact count you need for the job rather than a carton quantity.
5) Where is the Steel City HO 225 manufactured?
India. Some public and federally funded jobs carry domestic sourcing requirements, so check the country of origin against your contract language before you submit it on that kind of project.
