Overview

The ABB NPL4X20-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a precision-engineered solution for industrial electrical installations requiring superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. This 4-inch (103 metric) diameter nipple measures 20 inches (508 mm) in length and is constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, providing a robust foundation for demanding environments. The interior features a nominal 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating that protects against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring long-term performance in corrosive conditions. The exterior is coated with a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC layer, bonded to the steel substrate for exceptional durability and environmental resistance. Threads are protected with blue urethane coating to prevent corrosion and thread galling during installation and use. Designed for compatibility with ABB Ocal-Blue® corrosion-resistant conduit systems, this nipple meets NEMA RN 1 standards for continuous PVC coating coverage. The standard dark gray finish provides a professional appearance while blending with existing infrastructure. Custom colors are available upon request for specialized applications. Ideal for chemical plants, water treatment facilities, outdoor electrical installations, and industrial manufacturing environments, the NPL4X20-G ensures reliable performance where standard galvanized nipples would degrade. Its pre-threaded design accelerates field installations, reducing labor time and minimizing system downtime. The product is manufactured in the USA by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical infrastructure solutions, and distributed by Gross Automation. Key specifications include: Pipe size 4" (103 mm), length 20" (508 mm), interior coating 2 mil blue urethane, exterior coating 40 mil PVC, threads coated with blue urethane, material hot-dip galvanized steel, color dark gray (custom colors available).
