Overview

The ABB NPL3/4X3-W is a PVC-coated conduit nipple, specifically designed with a 3/4-inch (21 metric) nominal pipe size and a 3-inch (76.2 millimeters) nipple length. This conduit nipple is constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, a material chosen for its inherent strength and resistance to corrosion, forming the core of its robust build. The interior of the nipple is treated with a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating. This interior coating is engineered to provide a smooth surface, facilitating easier wire pulling and minimizing potential damage to conductors during installation. On the exterior, the NPL3/4X3-W boasts a substantial minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating. This thick exterior layer serves as a primary barrier against a wide range of environmental aggressors, offering significant protection against corrosion and resistance to physical damage that can occur in demanding industrial settings. Further enhancing its protective qualities, the threads of the nipple are also coated with a blue urethane coating. This thread protection is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the connection points, ensuring they remain free from damage and corrosion both during the installation process and over the extended service life of the conduit system. The NPL3/4X3-W is finished in white, a color that can contribute to enhanced visibility within electrical installations, aiding in identification and maintenance. This particular product is a component of ABB's Ocal-Blue® line, a recognized series of conduit systems renowned for their durable and effective corrosion-resistant properties. The manufacturing of the NPL3/4X3-W takes place in the USA, underscoring a commitment to domestic production. This conduit nipple is an ideal choice for applications where reliable conduit protection and secure connections are paramount, especially when operating in challenging or corrosive environments. For comprehensive details regarding installation tooling and recommended procedures, users are advised to refer to pages 94-108 of the ABB catalog.
