Overview

The ABB Installation Products 3 Inch Chase Nipple (SKU 1949) is a malleable iron conduit fitting designed for use with rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Constructed from malleable iron, this chase nipple provides robust mechanical strength while maintaining flexibility for field adjustments. The nylon insulation coating enhances corrosion resistance and electrical insulation, reducing the risk of galvanic reactions when connecting dissimilar metals in conduit runs. This fitting is specifically engineered for chase nipples, which are threaded on both ends to connect two conduit sections or a conduit to a box/panel while allowing for easy disassembly. The 3-inch size ensures compatibility with standard rigid and IMC conduit diameters, making it a versatile choice for commercial, industrial, and utility applications where durable, insulated conduit connections are required. Unlike standard nipples, the chase nipple design includes a hexagonal section for wrench grip, simplifying installation and removal in tight spaces. This product is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for reliable electrical infrastructure components.
