Arlington Industries 6A10 Offset Nipple 3.5 Inches

Product Description

The ARLINGTON INDUSTRIES 6A10 is a 3.5-inch offset nipple designed to connect and offset conduit runs or fixture housings where a straight nipple will not align properly. Offset nipples are used in electrical, lighting, and fixture applications to bridge misaligned entry points between junction boxes, canopies, and mounting surfaces. This type of fitting allows a technician to shift the centerline of a threaded connection without bending conduit or modifying the box. It is typically installed by licensed electricians and experienced electrical contractors during fixture mounting or box extension work.

The 6A10 offset nipple suits applications where a standard straight nipple creates a misalignment between a fixture canopy and an electrical box. Common scenarios include ceiling fan mounting, light fixture installation, and conduit transition work in residential and light commercial settings. The offset geometry provides the lateral shift needed to align threaded entries that are not on the same axis, simplifying the installation and reducing the need for field modifications.

Key Features

• 3.5-inch offset length accommodates misaligned threaded connections
• Threaded on both ends for standard fixture and box compatibility
• Compact form factor suits ceiling and wall fixture applications
• Sold individually for single-unit replacement or repair needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or retrofit offset nipple for use with standard threaded electrical fixture applications and junction box installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always disconnect power at the breaker before servicing any fixture or junction box. Thread both ends fully by hand before using a wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-tighten, as damage to the threads or box knockout can result.
