Thomas Betts 1949 Conduit Nipple 3 in Rigid Imc Malleable Iron

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 1949 is a malleable iron conduit nipple designed for use with rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. It features a threaded connection type and an insulated interior to protect wire insulation at the entry point. Built to a 3-inch trade size, this nipple provides a short, rigid coupling between conduit sections or at enclosure knockouts. Electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting in commercial and industrial wiring applications where a durable, code-compliant conduit connection is required in non-hazardous locations.

This conduit nipple is suited for use in non-hazardous area installations involving rigid metal conduit or IMC. Typical install scenarios include panel feeders, junction box entries, and conduit-to-enclosure connections in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential service work. The insulated throat helps guard conductor insulation against abrasion at metal edges, which is a common requirement in standard electrical installations.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size for use with rigid metal conduit and IMC
• Malleable iron construction for durability and strength
• Threaded connection for secure, code-compliant conduit coupling
• Insulated interior protects wire insulation at the fitting entry
• Rated for non-hazardous area applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems at 3-inch trade size in non-hazardous locations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before working on conduit systems or enclosures. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or conduit tools to achieve a wrench-tight threaded connection without over-stressing the fitting. Inspect the insulated throat for damage before installation to ensure proper wire protection.
