Overview

The ABB NPL21/2X6SA-G is a PVC-coated rigid aluminum conduit nipple designed for industrial electrical installations requiring corrosion resistance and mechanical protection. This 2.5-inch (63 metric) pipe size nipple measures 6 inches (152.4 mm) in length, providing a durable connection point in conduit systems. Constructed from rigid aluminum with a gray PVC exterior coating of minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) thickness, it delivers exceptional impact resistance and environmental protection against moisture, chemicals, and physical damage. The interior features a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating to prevent chemical ingress and corrosion of the aluminum substrate. Threads are protected by an additional blue urethane coating for enhanced thread integrity during installation and long-term service. This combination of materials and coatings makes the NPL21/2X6SA-G ideal for use in harsh industrial environments where electrical systems require reliable protection. The aluminum construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel alternatives while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance. Available in standard dark gray finish (G) with custom color options including white (W) and light blue (B), this nipple integrates seamlessly with ABB's PVC-coated conduit systems. Designed for compatibility with standard 2.5-inch conduit fittings, it meets ANSI C80.1-1994 dimensional standards for consistent installation across industrial applications. The NPL21/2X6SA-G is part of ABB's comprehensive line of PVC-coated conduit accessories, providing engineers and contractors with reliable components for demanding electrical installations.
