Overview

The ABB NPL2X12-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant steel nipple designed for industrial electrical conduit systems. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this nipple provides superior protection against rust and environmental degradation in harsh conditions. The exterior features a minimum 0.040" (40 mil) PVC coating bonded to the steel substrate, ensuring long-term resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. The interior and threads are protected by a nominal 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane coating, which enhances chemical resistance and facilitates smooth threading during installation. The gray PVC exterior blends seamlessly with standard conduit systems, providing a professional appearance while meeting UL and ANSI C80.1-1994 standards for conduit components. This 2-inch pipe size nipple measures 12 inches in length, making it ideal for joining threaded conduit sections where a standard coupling cannot be used. The blue urethane coating over threads prevents galling and ensures reliable joint integrity in field installations. Available in 11 standard lengths (including close and 2" to 12"), the NPL2X12-G can be specified for close-tolerance applications or extended runs. Custom lengths and colors are available upon request to meet project-specific requirements. Engineered for use in Ocal-Blue® corrosion-resistant conduit systems, this nipple is distributed by Gross Automation and is backed by ABB’s reputation for quality electrical components. The product is manufactured in the US and complies with industry standards for electrical conduit applications, including those requiring UL-listed components. Whether used in chemical plants, water treatment facilities, or outdoor industrial environments, the NPL2X12-G delivers durable performance with minimal maintenance.
