Southwire N-200500 Rigid Conduit Nipple 2x5 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-200500 is a rigid conduit nipple sized at 2 inches by 5 inches, used to make short threaded connections between conduit bodies, enclosures, junction boxes, and panels. Threaded on both ends, this nipple is designed for installers who need a close-coupled, code-compliant transition in rigid metal conduit runs. The compact 5-inch length makes it well suited for tight-clearance applications where standard conduit sections are impractical. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting as part of raceway systems in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical work.

Rigid conduit nipples in this size range are commonly used in panel feeders, service entrance work, motor connections, and junction box installations where a short, rigid run is needed between two threaded hubs. The 2-inch trade size accommodates larger wire fills typical of feeder and branch circuit applications. This nipple is appropriate for use in both exposed and concealed installations wherever rigid metal conduit is the specified raceway type.

Key Features

• 2-inch trade size for use in larger feeder and service entrance conduit runs
• 5-inch overall length provides a close-coupled connection between threaded hubs
• Both ends threaded for direct connection to conduit bodies, panels, and enclosures
• Rigid metal construction supports secure, stable raceway installations
• Designed for use where standard conduit lengths are too long for the available clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock rigid conduit nipple for 2-inch trade size rigid metal conduit raceway systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) requirements for rigid metal conduit systems. De-energize all circuits and verify absence of voltage before working in or near any enclosure or panel where this nipple is being installed. Use appropriate conduit threading dies and pipe wrenches to make up threaded connections, and apply listed thread compound or tape as required by the installation environment. Inspect threads on both the nipple and the mating hubs before assembly to ensure a secure, watertight connection where required.
