Overview

The ABB NPL1/2X2-W PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant, threaded steel nipple designed for industrial electrical installations requiring robust protection against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this nipple features a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating on the interior for chemical resistance and a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating on the exterior for impact and abrasion resistance. The threads are coated with blue urethane to prevent corrosion and galling during assembly. The white PVC exterior provides high visibility and ease of inspection in field applications. This 1/2-inch pipe size (metric 16) nipple measures 2 inches (50.8 mm) in length, making it ideal for tight spaces or short-run conduit runs where standard couplings are impractical. The product is part of ABB’s Ocal-Blue® corrosion-resistant conduit system, which includes pre-threaded nipples to accelerate field installations and reduce labor costs. The white coating meets standard color-coding requirements for quick identification in complex industrial environments, such as chemical plants, water treatment facilities, food processing plants, and offshore oil platforms. Unlike uncoated steel nipples, the NPL1/2X2-W eliminates the need for additional corrosion protection in harsh or corrosive atmospheres, reducing long-term maintenance and replacement costs. The PVC coating is bonded to the steel substrate, ensuring adhesion and durability even under thermal cycling or vibration. The product is available in standard lengths from 2 inches to 12 inches, with close nipples coated only in urethane for applications requiring minimal protrusion. Custom colors and lengths are available upon request for specialized applications. Backed by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical infrastructure solutions, the NPL1/2X2-W is engineered to meet the demands of industrial electrical systems where reliability and longevity are critical. It is distributed by Gross Automation and supported by comprehensive installation tooling and procedures outlined in ABB’s catalogs.
