Steel City HO226-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Steel City HO226 offset nipple connect?
The HO226 is a 2 inch nipple with a 3/4 inch offset, threaded for rigid and IMC conduit. So it joins two 2 inch rigid or intermediate metal conduit threads while shifting the run over by 3/4 inch.
2) Does the HO226 work on IMC as well as rigid conduit?
Yes. The threads are cut for both rigid (RGD) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC), which share the same NPT thread form in a given trade size, so one 2 inch fitting serves either raceway type.
3) When would I use an offset nipple instead of a straight nipple on a 2 inch conduit run?
Use the offset version when the two threaded openings you are tying together are not in line, which is the usual case coming out of a box or enclosure whose hub sits proud of the surface the conduit runs along. The HO226 builds a fixed 3/4 inch jog into the connection, so you don't have to bend conduit or force a straight nipple into a misaligned hub. If the hubs line up, a straight chase nipple is the simpler part.
4) What is the HO226 offset nipple made of, and is it suitable for a damp or corrosive area?
The body is zinc die cast. That is a standard indoor and general dry or damp location fitting material; for chemically aggressive or continuously wet industrial areas, specify a fitting rated for that environment instead.
5) Is the Steel City HO226 sold individually or by the box?
It sells each, one nipple per unit, under MPN HO 226 (also referenced as HO226-1 on the each-packaged option). Order the quantity of offsets your run actually needs rather than a carton.
