Southwire N-250600 Rigid Conduit Nipple 2.5 X 6 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-250600 is a galvanized steel rigid conduit nipple sized at 2.5 inches trade size and 6 inches in length. It is used to extend or connect sections of threaded rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) in electrical raceway systems. Fabricated from galvanized steel, it offers corrosion resistance and mechanical durability suited to demanding commercial and industrial environments. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of a complete conduit assembly. UL listed construction confirms compliance with standard electrical installation requirements.

This conduit nipple is a standard fitting used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations wherever threaded rigid or IMC conduit runs require a short extension or a close coupling between enclosures, panels, or junction boxes. The 6-inch length makes it well suited for close-nipple applications between adjacent boxes or where a short conduit segment is needed to maintain a clean, code-compliant raceway layout.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch trade size with 6-inch overall length for close-nipple and short-extension applications
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, damp, and outdoor-rated installations
• Compatible with threaded rigid metal conduit and IMC systems
• UL listed for use in standard electrical raceway installations
• Pre-threaded ends allow direct connection without additional field threading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 2.5-inch trade size threaded rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before working on any connected enclosures or panels. Apply listed thread-sealing compound or listed conduit thread lubricant to threaded ends as required by the installation environment. Do not overtighten fittings, as this can damage threads and compromise the integrity of the raceway system.
