Southwire N-3001000 Galvanized Steel Conduit Nipple 3x10 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-3001000 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple sized at 3 inches by 10 inches, designed to extend the length of threaded rigid or IMC conduit runs. Fabricated from rugged galvanized steel, this nipple delivers low conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and secure threaded connections. It is UL listed and intended for installation by licensed electricians in commercial and industrial conduit systems where a short, fixed-length extension between fittings or enclosures is required. The galvanized finish resists corrosion in demanding environments, maintaining the structural and electrical integrity of the conduit assembly over the long term.

This conduit nipple is suited for use in rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit applications across commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical installations. It connects two threaded conduit fittings, enclosures, or boxes where a precise 10-inch extension at 3-inch trade size is needed. Typical scenarios include panel connections, junction box entries, and equipment terminations where a close-up or standard-length nipple is required within a conduit system.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Compatible with threaded rigid metal conduit and IMC conduit systems
• UL listed for use in permitted electrical installations
• 3-inch trade size at 10-inch length for fixed-length conduit extensions
• Threaded ends ensure secure, reliable conduit connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard conduit extension fitting for 3-inch trade size threaded rigid metal conduit and IMC conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for rigid metal conduit and IMC systems. De-energize all circuits in the affected conduit run before beginning work. Apply listed conduit thread compound or tape to threaded connections as appropriate to maintain corrosion resistance and secure fit. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, which can damage threads and compromise the integrity of the assembly.
