Overview

The ABB NPL21/2X10-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant, pre-threaded steel nipple designed for industrial electrical conduit systems. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this nipple provides superior strength and long-term durability in harsh environments. The exterior features a minimum 0.040" (40 mil) PVC coating bonded to the steel substrate, offering exceptional resistance to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. The interior is coated with a nominal 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane layer for smooth wire pulling and additional corrosion protection. Threads are coated with blue urethane to prevent galling and ensure reliable joint integrity during assembly. This 2.5-inch (63 metric) pipe size nipple measures 10 inches (254 mm) in length, making it ideal for connecting conduit runs where standard couplings cannot be used. The standard dark gray PVC coating provides high visibility in industrial settings while meeting UL and NEC compliance requirements. Custom colors are available upon request for applications requiring specific identification or branding. Key applications include chemical plants, food processing facilities, wastewater treatment plants, and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance is critical. The Ocal-Blue® system design ensures compatibility with ABB’s full line of PVC-coated conduit and fittings, including elbows, couplings, and unions. For field installations, the pre-threaded design reduces assembly time by up to 50% compared to field-cut nipples. The NPL21/2X10-G is part of ABB Installation Products’ Ocal-Blue® corrosion-resistant conduit system, engineered for use in corrosive atmospheres per UL 651 standards. It is manufactured in the USA and distributed through authorized partners including Gross Automation. Stainless steel hardware is included separately for corrosion-resistant joint assembly.
