Thomas Betts 1947 Conduit Nipple 2 in Rigid Imc Malleable Iron

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 1947 is a malleable iron conduit nipple designed for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. It features a threaded connection type and an insulated construction, making it suitable for standard non-hazardous electrical installations. At a 2-inch trade size, this nipple provides a reliable transition or extension point within metallic conduit runs. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of rigid conduit assemblies in commercial and residential wiring systems. The malleable iron material offers durability and resistance to mechanical stress in demanding job-site environments.

This conduit nipple is intended for use in non-hazardous area applications where rigid or IMC conduit is specified. It is well suited for panel connections, junction box entries, and short conduit runs requiring a threaded, insulated fitting. The 2-inch trade size accommodates standard conduit of that diameter, making it a common choice in commercial electrical rough-in work and industrial installations where IMC or rigid steel conduit is the conduit type of record.

Key Features

• 2-inch trade size fits standard rigid and IMC conduit systems
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical impact
• Threaded connection type ensures secure, code-compliant conduit assembly
• Insulated design protects wire insulation at the fitting entry point
• Rated for non-hazardous area applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems at 2-inch trade size in non-hazardous electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before working on any conduit system. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit tools to thread the nipple securely without over-torquing fittings. Confirm that all threaded connections are fully engaged and that conduit support spacing meets applicable NEC requirements.
