Southwire N-300800 Galvanized Conduit Nipple 3x8 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-300800 is a galvanized steel conduit nipple designed to extend a length of threaded rigid or IMC conduit. At 3 inches in trade size and 8 inches in length, it provides a short, secure conduit run between enclosures, panels, or fittings. The galvanized steel construction delivers low conductivity and strong corrosion resistance, making it well suited for demanding installation environments. This nipple is UL listed and provides reliable mechanical protection and electrical continuity in conduit systems. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting as part of standard conduit rough-in work.

This conduit nipple is used in commercial and residential electrical installations where a short rigid or IMC conduit extension is needed between junction boxes, panels, enclosures, or equipment knockouts. The threaded ends mate with standard threaded fittings and locknuts, allowing fast assembly without additional field threading. It is appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where galvanized steel corrosion resistance meets project specifications.
