Southwire N-3501200 Rigid Conduit Nipple 3.5x12 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE N-3501200 is a galvanized steel rigid conduit nipple designed to extend threaded rigid or IMC conduit runs in electrical installations. Measuring 3.5 inches in trade size and 12 inches in length, this nipple provides a secure, threaded connection between conduit sections or fittings. The galvanized steel construction offers corrosion resistance and low conductivity, making it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors rely on this type of fitting to maintain conduit system integrity in both indoor and outdoor applications. It carries a UL listing, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards.

This conduit nipple is used in rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. It is a common component when connecting panels, junction boxes, and enclosures where a short, fixed-length conduit section is needed. The 12-inch length suits close-quarter runs between equipment and enclosures, and the 3.5-inch trade size accommodates larger conductor bundles typical of service entrance and feeder applications.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction provides high corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use
• 3.5-inch trade size accommodates high-capacity feeder and service entrance conduit runs
• 12-inch length suits short, fixed extensions between enclosures and fittings
• Threaded ends ensure secure, code-compliant connections to rigid or IMC conduit
• UL listed for verified safety compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for use with 3.5-inch trade size threaded rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the affected conduit run before beginning work. Use appropriate conduit wrenches and thread sealant or listed conduit thread compound as required by local codes. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage threads and compromise the integrity of the conduit system.
