Bridgeport Fittings 1522DC Offset Conduit Nipple 1 Inch

Product Description

The BRIDGEPORT FITTINGS 1522DC is a 1-inch die cast zinc offset conduit nipple designed to bridge conduit runs between two raceways, boxes, or enclosures that do not share a common axis. The offset geometry allows installers to align mismatched entry points without cutting or bending additional conduit. NPSM threads on both ends create a pressure-tight, vibration-resistant connection when male and female threads are fully engaged. The zinc die cast body provides solid corrosion resistance, making this nipple suitable for long-term use across a wide range of environments. Licensed electricians and conduit installers handle this fitting during rough-in and conduit rough-up work on commercial and residential electrical systems.

This offset nipple is used wherever conduit routing requires a lateral shift between two entry points that are not in perfect alignment. Common applications include panel knockouts, junction boxes, and enclosures in both residential and commercial electrical installations. The 1-inch trade size fits standard 1-inch conduit systems. The NPSM thread form seats positively to maintain wiring form and containment through the fitting. This part meets NEMA Standard FB-1 and UL Standard UL-514B, confirming it is listed for use in code-compliant electrical installations.

Key Features

• Offset design bridges misaligned raceways, boxes, and enclosures without additional bends
• NPSM threads form a pressure-tight, vibration-resistant seal when fully engaged
• Die cast zinc construction provides corrosion resistance for long-term service life
• Meets NEMA Standard FB-1 and UL Standard UL-514B for code-compliant installations
• 1-inch trade size fits standard 1-inch conduit system entry points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1-inch conduit systems requiring an offset connection between misaligned raceways, boxes, or enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the affected panel or enclosure before beginning work. Hand-tighten the NPSM threads fully to seat the pressure-tight connection before applying a strap wrench if additional torque is needed. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a proper seal and avoid compromising conduit integrity.
