Overview

The ABB NPL1/2X13-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a robust and highly protective component engineered for demanding industrial electrical conduit systems. This threaded steel nipple is meticulously constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, a material choice that inherently provides exceptional strength and ensures extended longevity, even when subjected to harsh and corrosive environments. The exterior of the nipple is fortified with a substantial minimum 0.040 inch (40 mil) PVC coating. This thick PVC layer is specifically designed to offer superior resistance to abrasion and a wide range of chemicals, safeguarding the conduit system from physical damage and corrosive agents. Complementing the exterior protection, both the interior surfaces and the threads of the nipple are coated with a nominal 0.002 inch (2 mil) blue urethane. This urethane coating provides an additional layer of defense, enhancing protection against moisture ingress and other environmental factors that can lead to degradation. The exterior PVC coating is finished in a distinct gray color, which aids in high visibility during the installation process and subsequent maintenance operations. This specific nipple is designed for a 1/2 inch (16 metric) pipe size and extends to a length of 13 inches (330.2 millimeters). This particular length makes it an ideal solution for connecting conduit runs in situations where standard couplings may not be suitable or practical. The inclusion of the blue urethane coating specifically over the threads is a key feature, facilitating easier assembly and disassembly of conduit connections while simultaneously maintaining critical corrosion resistance at these vital points. While the standard finish is dark gray, the source data indicates that custom colors can be requested to meet the specific requirements of particular applications. ABB Installation Products offers this nipple as a reliable solution for industrial, commercial, and utility installations where robust protection against both corrosion and mechanical damage is paramount.
