Overview

The ABB NPL5X177/8-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty solution for industrial electrical installations requiring robust conduit protection. This product features a 5-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) with a 17-7/8-inch nipple length, constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel for superior strength and longevity. The exterior is coated with a minimum 40-mil (0.040 inch) PVC layer, providing a durable barrier against moisture, chemicals, and physical abrasion. The interior and threads are protected by a nominal 2-mil (0.002 inch) blue urethane coating, ensuring resistance to environmental contaminants and ease of threading. The gray finish enhances visibility during installation and blends with standard industrial infrastructure. Designed for harsh environments, the NPL5X177/8-G is ideal for applications in chemical plants, refineries, wastewater treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants where electrical conduits are exposed to corrosive agents or mechanical stress. The hot-dip galvanized steel core delivers structural integrity, while the PVC and urethane coatings extend service life by preventing rust, oxidation, and degradation. The product meets NEMA RN 1 standards for PVC coating thickness and uniformity, ensuring consistent performance across installations. Compatible with standard rigid steel conduit systems, this nipple simplifies field assembly with pre-threaded ends and color-coded thread protectors for quick size identification. Key specifications include a 5-inch pipe size (metric equivalent: 129), 17-7/8-inch nipple length, and a gray PVC exterior coating. The blue urethane interior coating resists moisture ingress, while the hot-dip galvanized threads provide reliable engagement with fittings. Custom color options are available upon request for applications requiring specific aesthetic or coding standards. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable conduit solutions that meet the demands of industrial electrical systems.
