Overview

The ABB NPL1X6-W PVC-coated conduit nipple is a precision-engineered electrical fitting designed for industrial environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical durability are critical. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this 1-inch (27 mm) pipe size nipple measures 6 inches (152.4 mm) in length, providing a reliable connection point for rigid metal conduit systems. The interior features a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating to protect against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, while the exterior is coated with a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC layer for enhanced environmental resistance. Threads are additionally coated with blue urethane to prevent thread galling and ensure long-term thread integrity. The white finish provides visual identification and UV resistance. This combination of galvanized steel and multi-layer coatings delivers exceptional protection in harsh conditions, including chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and outdoor electrical installations where exposure to corrosive elements is common. The NPL series is part of ABB's PVC-coated conduit nipple family, available in multiple sizes and colors, with custom options available. Designed for industrial applications requiring durable, corrosion-resistant conduit fittings, the NPL1X6-W minimizes maintenance needs and reduces system downtime by resisting corrosion and mechanical wear in demanding environments.
