Steel City HO224-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the 3/4 inch offset on the Steel City HO224 nipple actually do on a run?
The HO224 is a 1-1/4 inch conduit nipple with a built-in 3/4 inch offset, so the two threaded ends sit on parallel but separated centerlines. That lets you step a rigid or IMC run sideways 3/4 inch to line up a box hub or enclosure knockout that doesn't sit flush with the raceway, without bending conduit or adding a pair of elbows in a tight space.
2) Will a 1-1/4 inch offset nipple thread into IMC as well as rigid conduit?
Yes. The HO224 is made for both RGD and IMC in the 1-1/4 inch trade size. Rigid and intermediate metal conduit share the same NPT-style tapered conduit thread at a given trade size, so one fitting serves both.
3) What is the HO224 offset nipple made of, and is zinc die cast acceptable for a damp location?
Zinc die cast is the body material. It's a common conduit fitting alloy for dry and damp indoor work; for corrosive or direct-burial conditions, most specs call for a malleable iron or steel fitting instead, so check the drawing before substituting this one into that kind of run.
4) Do I buy the Steel City HO224 by the piece or only in a 50 pack?
Both. The selling unit of measure is each, and there are two order options: a standard single-piece pack, and the 50 pack, which is catalogued as HO224-1. Service techs carrying a few on the truck take the single; anyone roughing in a large job takes the 50.
5) Can I use an offset nipple instead of a chase nipple between a panel and a wireway?
Only where the two openings are misaligned. A chase nipple joins two enclosures whose knockouts line up on the same centerline. The HO224 exists for the case where they don't: its ends are offset 3/4 inch, so it picks up a 1-1/4 inch opening that sits 3/4 inch off from the one it's feeding. If your knockouts are in line, an offset nipple will fight you.
