Southwire N-100600 Rigid Conduit Nipple 1x6 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-100600 is a rigid conduit nipple designed for making short, direct conduit connections between enclosures, panels, and junction boxes. This fitting provides a fixed-length threaded section that connects two threaded hubs or knockouts without the need for a full conduit run. Trade size is 1 inch with a 6-inch body length, making it suitable for close-coupled installations where a standard coupling and cut conduit are impractical. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting as part of raceway systems in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is intended for use in rigid metal conduit installations across residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems. It is a practical solution when connecting adjacent enclosures, meter bases, service entrance equipment, or distribution panels where minimal spacing exists between entry points. The fixed 6-inch length reduces field cutting and threading labor on short connections.

Key Features

• Trade size 1 inch with 6-inch body length for close-coupled conduit connections
• Threaded on both ends to mate with standard rigid conduit hubs and locknuts
• Fixed length eliminates field cutting and threading for this span
• Suitable for use in service entrance, panel, and enclosure connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-inch rigid metal conduit raceway systems using standard NPT-threaded hubs and enclosure knockouts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for rigid metal conduit systems. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before working inside any panel or enclosure. Apply listed thread compound or tape as required by the installation environment to ensure a weathertight or concrete-tight assembly where specified. Hand-tighten first, then wrench-tighten to ensure full thread engagement without cross-threading.
