Southwire N-2501200 Conduit Nipple 2.5x12 in Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-2501200 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple designed to extend a run of threaded rigid or IMC conduit. It measures 2.5 inches in trade size and 12 inches in length. The nipple is fabricated from galvanized steel, providing corrosion resistance and low conductivity suited to demanding electrical installation environments. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting wherever a short, threaded extension is needed between conduit bodies, enclosures, or junction boxes. The UL listing confirms the fitting meets applicable safety and performance standards for use in commercial and industrial conduit systems.

This conduit nipple is appropriate for both rigid metal conduit and IMC installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It is commonly used at panel entries, equipment knockouts, and conduit body connections where a fixed-length threaded extension is required. The 12-inch length suits situations where a standard coupling is insufficient but a full conduit section is unnecessary.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor conduit systems
• Compatible with both rigid metal conduit and IMC threaded fittings
• 2.5-inch trade size accommodates higher-capacity branch and feeder conduit runs
• 12-inch fixed length suits equipment entries and short conduit extensions
• UL listed for use in code-compliant electrical installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for 2.5-inch threaded rigid metal conduit and IMC conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code. De-energize all circuits in the affected conduit before beginning work. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit threading tools to achieve secure, wrench-tight connections. Inspect threads on mating conduit and fittings before installation to avoid cross-threading or joint failure.
