Southwire N-250300 Conduit Nipple 2.5x3 Inch Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-250300 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple designed to extend threaded rigid or IMC conduit runs. At 2.5 inches trade size and 3 inches in length, this nipple provides a short, fully threaded section used to connect conduit sections, fill short gaps between enclosures, or transition between fittings. Fabricated from galvanized steel, it delivers low conductivity and strong corrosion resistance. This fitting is installed by licensed electricians on commercial and industrial conduit systems where UL-listed components are required. It is UL listed for code-compliant installations.

This nipple is suited for use in rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) installations. Common applications include panel-to-enclosure connections, junction box entries, and conduit extension points where a short, threaded fitting is needed. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for indoor and general-purpose outdoor environments where moisture and mild corrosion exposure are concerns. It is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch trade size fits standard rigid and IMC conduit of the same diameter
• 3-inch length provides a compact, fully threaded nipple for tight-clearance runs
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance and low conductivity
• Fully threaded design ensures secure mechanical and electrical connections
• UL listed for use in code-compliant conduit installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before working on any conduit system. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit tools to tighten threaded connections without over-stressing the fitting. Inspect threads on both mating conduit ends before assembly to ensure a clean, secure connection.
