Overview

The ABB NPL1X6SA-G is a rigid aluminum conduit nipple designed for robust electrical installations. This nipple features a 1-inch (27 metric) pipe size and a 6-inch (152.4 mm) length, providing essential connectivity for conduit systems. Constructed from rigid aluminum, it offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The exterior is protected by a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating in dark gray, ensuring long-term durability against environmental factors. Internally, a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating is applied, which aids in smooth wire pulling and provides an additional layer of corrosion protection. Crucially, the threads are also coated with blue urethane, safeguarding them from damage and corrosion during installation and operation. This product is manufactured in the USA and is part of ABB's Ocal-Blue® line of corrosion-resistant conduit systems. The NPL1X6SA-G is ideal for applications requiring reliable conduit connections where protection against moisture and corrosive elements is paramount. Its gray PVC coating and blue urethane interior offer a distinct visual cue for system identification and integrity. This nipple is designed for use with Ocal® PVC-coated steel or aluminum conduit, ensuring system compatibility and performance. Refer to pages 94-108 of the ABB catalog for installation tooling and procedures.
