Thomas Betts HO224 Conduit Nipple 1-1/4 in Rigid Imc Zinc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS HO224 is a threaded conduit nipple designed for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Manufactured from die cast zinc, this non-insulated fitting provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point in standard electrical conduit runs. At a 1-1/4 inch trade size, it is suited for medium-gauge conduit installations common in commercial and industrial wiring work. Electricians use this fitting to create short conduit connections between boxes, enclosures, or panels where a close nipple or standard-length nipple is required. The threaded connection type ensures a secure, code-compliant mechanical fit.

This conduit nipple is intended for non-hazardous area applications in both commercial and residential electrical installations. It is a practical component in conduit assemblies where rigid or IMC conduit terminates at junction boxes, load centers, or equipment enclosures. The 1-1/4 inch trade size accommodates the corresponding conduit diameter, making it a standard stocking item for electrical contractors and maintenance electricians working on branch circuit and feeder conduit runs.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch trade size fits standard rigid and IMC conduit
• Die cast zinc construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Threaded connection type for secure, mechanically sound fit
• Non-insulated design for standard conduit system use
• Rated for non-hazardous area applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with 1-1/4 inch trade size rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems in non-hazardous electrical environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the affected conduit run before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or conduit wrench torque to ensure a leak-free, mechanically secure threaded connection. Do not use this fitting in classified hazardous locations.
