Product Overview

  • Standard: UL 514B
  • Material: Pre-galvanized

Product Details

IMC and RSC conduits are rigid metallic conduits used to protect and route electrical wiring in various applications. A rigid conduit nipple Type A/Type B provides a threaded connection between two sections of IMC or RSC conduit.
  1. Type A Nipple has threads on both ends. It is designed to be used when two threaded connections are required, such as connecting two couplings or connectors. Each end of the nipple is threaded and can be connected to a coupling or connector.
  2. Type B Nipple has a plain end on one side and is threaded on the other end. It is designed to be used with a threaded coupling or connector. The plain end is inserted into the conduit, while the threaded end is used to connect to another conduit or fitting using a compatible threaded coupling or connector.
By using rigid conduit nipples, installers can easily and securely connect IMC or RSC conduits together, allowing for a continuous conduit run and providing protection and routing for electrical wiring in an installation. The three-piece coupling provides a durable and robust connection between IMC or RSC conduits, ensuring proper alignment, support, and protection for the electrical wiring. It allows for easy installation and maintenance of the conduit system while maintaining the necessary mechanical and electrical continuity.
