Southwire N-250800 Galvanized Conduit Nipple 2.5x8 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-250800 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple designed to extend threaded rigid or IMC conduit runs. Fabricated from galvanized steel, it delivers low conductivity and high corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for demanding electrical installations. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple provides a secure, code-compliant connection between conduit sections or between a conduit end and a fitting, box, or enclosure. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of hardware as a standard part of conduit rough-in work in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This conduit nipple is suited for use in commercial and residential electrical installations where rigid metal conduit or IMC systems are specified. It is commonly used in exposed conduit runs, panel connections, and equipment hookups where a short, threaded extension is required to bridge a gap between fittings or enclosures. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture and corrosion resistance are priorities. UL listing confirms it meets applicable electrical safety standards.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance and low conductivity
• 2.5-inch trade size with 8-inch length for standard rigid and IMC conduit extensions
• Threaded ends ensure secure, tight connections to conduit, fittings, and enclosures
• UL listed for compliance with applicable electrical installation standards
• Compatible with both rigid metal conduit and IMC conduit systems

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits and verify power is off before making conduit connections near live equipment or enclosures. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit tools to thread the nipple fully into fittings or knockouts to ensure a secure, continuous ground path. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this may damage threads or fittings.
