Overview

The ABB NPL31/2X4-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant, threaded steel nipple designed for industrial electrical conduit systems. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this nipple provides a robust foundation for conduit runs in harsh environments. The interior features a nominal 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane coating to protect against moisture and chemical exposure, while the exterior is coated with a minimum 0.040" (40 mil) gray PVC layer for superior UV resistance and mechanical durability. Threads are additionally coated with blue urethane to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable joint integrity. This nipple measures 3.5 inches in pipe size (ANSI C80.1-1994 metric size 91) with a 4-inch (101.6 mm) nipple length, making it compatible with standard 3.5" conduit systems. The gray PVC exterior blends seamlessly with industrial infrastructure while providing long-term protection against chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. Custom color options are available upon request for specialized applications. Ideal for chemical plants, water treatment facilities, outdoor substations, and manufacturing environments, the NPL31/2X4-G ensures reliable performance where standard galvanized nipples would degrade. Its pre-threaded design accelerates field installation, reducing labor time and minimizing system downtime. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, a leader in industrial electrical solutions, this conduit nipple meets stringent quality standards for durability and safety.
