Overview

The ABB NPL31/2X6-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant, threaded steel nipple designed for industrial electrical installations. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this 3-1/2" (91mm) pipe size nipple measures 6" (152.4mm) in length, providing a durable connection point for conduit systems in harsh environments. The exterior features a minimum 0.040" (40 mil) PVC coating for superior abrasion and chemical resistance, while the interior and threads are protected by a 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane coating to prevent corrosion and thread galling. This combination ensures long-term performance in wet, corrosive, or chemically aggressive conditions, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, and utility applications. The standard dark gray finish includes color-coded thread protectors for easy conduit size identification, and custom colors are available upon request. Compatible with Ocal-Blue® double-coat split couplings, this nipple simplifies field installations where standard couplings cannot be used. Manufactured in the USA by ABB Installation Products, the NPL31/2X6-G meets ANSI C80.1-1994 standards and is distributed by Gross Automation. Standard lengths range from close to 12", with custom lengths available. For installation tooling and procedures, refer to ABB’s installation guides.
