Southwire N-3001200 Galvanized Steel Conduit Nipple 3x12

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-3001200 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple sized at 3 inches trade diameter by 12 inches in length, designed to extend a run of threaded rigid metal conduit or IMC conduit. Fabricated from galvanized steel, this nipple provides low electrical conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and secure threaded connections. It is installed by licensed electricians during conduit runs where a short, fixed-length extension is needed between fittings, boxes, or enclosures. UL listed for code-compliant installations in commercial and industrial applications.

Conduit nipples serve a straightforward purpose: bridging two threaded conduit points in close proximity without requiring a field-cut section of conduit. The N-3001200 is suited for use in rigid metal conduit and IMC systems where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as wet locations, outdoor installations, and industrial environments. The galvanized finish stands up to moisture and atmospheric exposure better than uncoated steel alternatives, making this nipple a common pick for exposed raceway work.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size by 12-inch length for fixed, close-proximity conduit extensions
• Galvanized steel construction provides high corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor locations
• Pre-threaded ends for direct connection to rigid metal conduit or IMC fittings
• UL listed for code-compliant use in electrical raceway systems
• Eliminates field threading for this common nipple length, saving time on the job

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Conduit nipples are installed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code. De-energize all circuits in the affected conduit system before beginning any raceway work. Use appropriate conduit wrenches to achieve tight, secure threaded engagement on both ends. Apply listed conduit thread lubricant or anti-seize compound in corrosive environments to ease future disassembly.
