Value Collection BD-17400 Conduit Nipple 1/2 in Imc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-17400 is a malleable iron conduit nipple designed for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) installations. This insulated nipple features threaded connections on both ends and is manufactured from malleable iron for durability in standard electrical raceway applications. At a 1/2 inch trade size, it fits the most common conduit diameter found in residential and light commercial wiring work. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting when connecting conduit sections or terminating conduit runs at enclosures, panels, or junction boxes.

This conduit nipple is suited for rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems in both new construction and retrofit electrical installations. The insulated design helps protect conductors at termination points, reducing the risk of insulation wear at the fitting entry. Typical applications include panel knockouts, enclosure entries, and short conduit runs between fittings. Each package contains 5 nipples, making this a practical option for stocking service vehicles or job site supplies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for conduit fittings and raceway systems. De-energize all circuits and disconnect power at the source before working on any conduit system. Thread connections should be made up wrench-tight to ensure mechanical continuity and a secure fit. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure a proper seal and grounding path.
