Thomas Betts 846 Conduit Nipple 1-1/2 in Rigid Imc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 846 is a malleable iron conduit nipple designed for use with rigid metal conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. It features a threaded connection on both ends and is sized at 1-1/2 inches trade size, making it a standard fitting for connecting conduit sections to enclosures, junction boxes, and panels. The non-insulated design suits dry and standard non-hazardous installations. Electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during rough-in and finish work in commercial and residential applications where code-compliant conduit runs are required.

This conduit nipple is suited for rigid and IMC conduit installations in non-hazardous locations. Typical applications include transitioning conduit into electrical panels, pull boxes, meter enclosures, and other metal enclosures where a short threaded section is needed to make the connection. The 1-1/2 inch trade size fits a common conduit diameter used in branch circuit and feeder runs across light commercial and residential construction projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before working in any enclosure or panel. Apply listed thread compound or tape to threaded connections as appropriate for the installation environment. Hand-tighten and wrench-secure connections to ensure proper mechanical and electrical continuity without over-stressing the fitting.
