Overview

The ABB NPL11/2X31/2-G is a high-performance PVC-coated conduit nipple engineered for maximum corrosion resistance in demanding industrial electrical installations. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this nipple delivers superior strength, durability, and long-term performance in harsh environments. The product is designed with a 1-1/2 inch (41 metric) pipe size and a 3-1/2 inch (88.9 mm) nipple length, ensuring compatibility with standard conduit systems. The interior surface is protected by a nominal 0.002 inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating, providing a seamless, corrosion-resistant barrier against moisture, chemicals, and abrasive substances. The exterior features a minimum 0.040 inch (40 mil) PVC coating, offering robust protection against environmental stressors such as UV exposure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive atmospheres. Threads are reinforced with an additional blue urethane coating to enhance wear resistance and prevent thread damage during installation or maintenance. The gray exterior coating improves visibility in low-light conditions and simplifies identification during installation or inspection. This nipple is pre-threaded for faster field installations, reducing labor time and ensuring consistent, reliable connections. The combination of hot-dip galvanized steel and dual-layer coatings (urethane interior, PVC exterior) provides a comprehensive defense against corrosion, making it ideal for applications in chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, offshore platforms, mining operations, and outdoor industrial settings. The product meets stringent industrial standards for electrical conduit systems, ensuring compliance with safety and performance requirements. SKU: NPL11/2X31/2-G. Country of Origin: US.
