Overview

The ABB NPL3/4X12SST is a 3/4-inch (21 metric) stainless steel conduit nipple designed for rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this nipple provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, including chemical processing, marine, and outdoor installations where chlorides and moisture are present. The 12-inch length allows for precise conduit runs with standard threading on both ends, ensuring compatibility with rigid/IMC conduit fittings and couplings. This product meets industry standards for conduit systems and is suitable for use in electrical, plumbing, and industrial applications requiring durable, long-lasting connections. The 316 stainless steel construction resists pitting and crevice corrosion better than 304-grade alternatives, making it ideal for coastal or chemically aggressive settings. Threaded ends ensure secure, vibration-resistant joints, reducing the risk of loosening over time. This nipple is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, known for reliable electrical infrastructure components.
