Southwire L404 Zinc Rigid Offset Nipple 1-1/4 Inches

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE L404 is a zinc rigid offset nipple designed for use in electrical conduit installations where a standard straight nipple cannot clear an obstruction or surface. The offset profile allows conduit runs to be shifted laterally while maintaining a secure, threaded mechanical connection. At 1-1/4 inches in nominal size, this nipple is suited for medium-trade conduit work in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed electricians and experienced contractors install this fitting as part of rigid metal conduit systems where precise routing adjustments are required at boxes, panels, or enclosures.

The L404 is used in rigid conduit runs that require a lateral offset at junction boxes, outlet boxes, or panel enclosures. It is appropriate for installations where conduit must transition from an in-wall or surface-mounted path to align with a box knockout that is not in direct line with the conduit. This fitting is commonly found in commercial electrical rough-in work and industrial panel connections where rigid conduit is the specified raceway type.

Key Features

• Zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard indoor and protected outdoor conduit applications
• Offset profile shifts conduit alignment laterally without requiring additional fittings or bends
• Threaded ends provide secure, code-compliant mechanical and electrical continuity at the connection point
• 1-1/4 inch nominal size fits standard rigid metal conduit of the same trade size
• Compact dimensions allow use in tight spaces near panels and enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 1-1/4 inch rigid metal conduit systems in standard electrical installations.

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 conduit work. Thread the nipple fully into both the conduit and box knockout using appropriate threading tools and thread-sealing compound where required by local code. Inspect threads on both the conduit and the nipple before installation to ensure a tight, continuous mechanical connection.
