Southwire L405 Zinc Rigid Offset Nipple 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE L405 is a zinc rigid offset nipple designed for use in electrical conduit installations where a straight run must be offset to clear an obstruction or transition between two parallel planes. The offset nipple connects two threaded rigid conduit sections while displacing the conduit path by 1-1/2 inches, allowing electricians to maintain a clean, code-compliant raceway without bending conduit in the field. Its zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard interior and light commercial applications. This fitting is a practical, time-saving solution for finishing conduit runs near panels, enclosures, and junction boxes.

The L405 offset nipple is used in rigid metal conduit systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations. It is well-suited for panel terminations, box connections, and any conduit routing scenario where a short lateral offset is required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this fitting as part of a threaded rigid conduit assembly.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch offset displaces conduit path without field bending
• Zinc construction offers corrosion resistance for standard interior applications
• Threaded ends compatible with standard rigid metal conduit fittings
• Compact profile at approximately 3.05 inches in length and 2.07 inches in height
• One year limited warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for standard threaded rigid metal conduit systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch offset connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for rigid metal conduit systems. De-energize all circuits in the affected raceway before working on any conduit connections. Use appropriate pipe wrenches and thread-sealing methods as required by local code. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this may damage the zinc fitting body.
