Steel City HO221-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does an offset nipple like the Steel City HO221 actually do on a conduit run?
An offset nipple bridges two connection points that don't line up on the same axis, most commonly tying a piece of rigid or IMC conduit into a box or enclosure where the knockout sits off-center from the raceway. The HO221 handles a 3/4 inch offset on a 1/2 inch trade size run, so you get the jog built into the fitting instead of bending conduit or adding couplings.
2) Is the HO221 nipple for rigid conduit or EMT?
Rigid and IMC. It's built as a threaded RGD/IMC fitting, so it mates with threaded rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit in 1/2 inch trade size. EMT is a set-screw or compression system and is not what this nipple is made for.
3) Can I buy the HO221 offset nipple by the piece, or only in a box of 100?
Both. There's a standard single configuration ordered as HO 221 and a 100-piece pack ordered as HO221-1. Selling unit of measure is each, so a service tech replacing one fitting isn't forced into a full carton, while a contractor roughing in a panel room can take the 100 pack.
4) I need a 3/4 inch conduit size offset nipple, not 1/2 inch. Will the HO221 work?
No. On the HO221 the 3/4 inch figure is the amount of offset, not the conduit size. The threaded ends are 1/2 inch trade size. For 3/4 inch rigid or IMC conduit you need the 3/4 inch trade size offset nipple in the same Steel City offset nipple family, not this one.
5) How long is the Steel City HO221 nipple overall?
The HO221 measures 2.6 inches in length. That's the figure to check against your available space between the enclosure and the conduit termination, since an offset nipple has to clear both landing points plus the 3/4 inch jog.
