Thomas Betts HO225 Conduit Nipple 1-1/2 in Rigid Imc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS HO225 is a die cast zinc conduit nipple designed for use with rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. It provides a short, threaded connection point between conduit sections or between conduit and an enclosure, junction box, or fitting. At a 1-1/2 inch trade size, it fits standard threaded rigid and IMC conduit ends. The non-insulated construction suits general-purpose, non-hazardous electrical installations. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of a complete conduit assembly in commercial and residential wiring systems.

This nipple is rated for non-hazardous area applications and is well suited to conduit runs in dry, damp, or wet locations where rigid or IMC conduit is specified. It is commonly used to extend conduit into panels, pull boxes, meter enclosures, and similar equipment. The threaded connection ensures a secure, low-resistance mechanical joint. Electricians working on new construction, tenant improvements, or equipment retrofits will find this a standard stocking item for conduit work requiring a 1-1/2 inch trade size fitting.

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 beginning conduit work in or near energized equipment. Use appropriate threading tools and thread lubricant when making up conduit connections to ensure full thread engagement. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as die cast zinc can crack under excessive torque.
