Thomas Betts HO226 Conduit Nipple 2 in Rigid Imc Threaded Zinc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS HO226 is a conduit nipple designed for use with Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. It features a threaded connection and is constructed from die cast zinc, providing a reliable mechanical connection between conduit sections or between conduit and an enclosure. This fitting is non-insulated and rated for non-hazardous area installations. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting as part of raceway assemblies in commercial and residential wiring systems. The 2-inch trade size accommodates standard 2-inch conduit runs.

This conduit nipple is suited for use in dry and damp location raceway assemblies where rigid metal conduit or IMC is the specified raceway type. It is a common fitting in panel feeders, junction box connections, and short conduit extensions where a close nipple or chase nipple is required. The threaded connection allows it to mate with standard threaded conduit hubs, locknuts, and couplings used in typical commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Key Features

• 2-inch trade size fits standard rigid metal conduit and IMC of matching size
• Die cast zinc construction provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications
• Threaded connection type mates with standard conduit fittings, couplings, and hubs
• Non-insulated design for standard raceway assembly use
• Rated for non-hazardous area installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with 2-inch trade size Rigid Metal Conduit and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) raceway systems using standard threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians install conduit nipples as part of permitted raceway systems in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the affected raceway before beginning work. Apply listed thread lubricant or sealant appropriate for the installation environment and tighten fittings to achieve a secure mechanical connection. Inspect threads on both the fitting and the conduit before assembly to avoid cross-threading or fitting damage.
