Southwire 64512 Conduit Nipple 1/2 in Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 64512 is a male threaded conduit nipple designed for use with rigid conduit systems in electrical installations. Manufactured from galvanized steel, this 1/2 inch nipple measures 2 inches in length and provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point between conduit sections, enclosures, or junction boxes. The galvanized finish extends service life in both indoor and outdoor environments. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors rely on this type of fitting to make secure, code-compliant transitions in metallic conduit runs.

This conduit nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications wherever 1/2 inch rigid metal conduit is specified. It is commonly installed at panel enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment knockouts to create short conduit stubs or close-coupled connections. Its compact 2 inch length makes it particularly useful in tight spaces where a standard conduit length would be impractical.

Key Features

• Male threaded ends for direct connection to rigid conduit fittings and enclosure knockouts
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in indoor and outdoor environments
• 1/2 inch trade size fits standard 1/2 inch rigid conduit and compatible fittings
• 2 inch length suits close-coupled connections and tight installation spaces
• Compatible with metallic conduit systems per NEC Article 344 requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 1/2 inch rigid metal conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before working on conduit systems or enclosures. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit tools to hand-tighten and then wrench-tighten fittings without over-torquing threaded connections. Ensure all metallic conduit system components are properly bonded and grounded as required by code.
