Steel City HO223-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why use an offset nipple instead of a straight nipple between a box and conduit?
An offset nipple is for the case where the two connection points are not in line. The HO223 carries a 3/4 inch offset, so it steps the run over that distance while still landing 1 inch threads on both ends, typically joining a box or enclosure to a conduit stub that sits off center. If your box hub and conduit line up, a straight 1 inch chase nipple is the cheaper, simpler fitting.
2) How much space do I need between the two enclosures for a Steel City HO223?
Plan on about 2.68 inches of overall fitting length, which is the net length of the HO223 body. That is the gap the offset spans end to end before locknuts and bushings are added, so allow room for those on each side when you are tight against framing or another enclosure.
3) Is the HO223 nipple steel or die cast, and does that matter for where I install it?
Zinc die cast, not malleable iron or steel. Die cast offset nipples are normal for dry interior work and standard indoor panel and box connections. If the job spec on the drawing calls specifically for malleable iron or steel fittings, or the location is wet or corrosive, specify a fitting that meets that spec instead.
4) Do I need anything else to install a 1 inch offset nipple into a panel or box?
The offset nipple itself is the only piece supplied, so add 1 inch locknuts for each end and a plastic or metal bushing where the conductors pass through, plus a grounding locknut or bonding jumper if the connection is part of your equipment grounding path. Sizing is all 1 inch to match the nipple's threads.
5) What part number do I order for the Steel City 1 inch offset nipple, and is it sold individually?
Order Steel City HO 223 (also cataloged as HO223-1 for the each-packed version). It sells by the each, so quantity is per fitting, not per box.
