Overview

The ABB NPL2X12SA-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a precision-engineered aluminum fitting designed for industrial electrical installations requiring superior corrosion resistance and durability. This 2-inch (53mm) pipe size x 12-inch (304.8mm) nipple features a rigid aluminum core with a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating on the interior surface, ensuring smooth wire pull-through while preventing corrosion. The exterior is protected by a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating bonded to the aluminum substrate, providing exceptional resistance to chemicals, moisture, and mechanical damage. Threads are coated with blue urethane for added corrosion protection and secure, leak-proof connections. The standard dark gray finish meets industrial color-coding requirements and resists UV degradation. This conduit nipple is part of the Ocal-Blue® corrosion-resistant conduit system, compatible with ABB’s PVC-coated steel or aluminum conduit lines. It features color-coded thread protectors (standard dark gray) for quick size identification in the field. The product is manufactured in the USA by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical infrastructure solutions. Applications include industrial facilities, commercial buildings, utility installations, and harsh environments where electrical systems require long-term protection against corrosion and environmental stressors.
