Overview

The ABB NPL5X383/8-G PVC Coated Conduit Nipple is a premium-grade electrical conduit solution engineered for industrial, commercial, and utility applications requiring superior corrosion resistance and durability. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this conduit nipple combines hot-dip galvanized rigid steel with advanced multi-layer coatings to deliver unmatched protection in harsh environments. The 5-inch (129 metric) pipe size and 38-3/8-inch nipple length provide optimal flexibility for complex conduit runs while maintaining structural integrity. Key construction features include a 0.002-inch (2 mil) blue urethane coating on the interior surface, designed to enhance electrical insulation and reduce friction during wire pulling. The exterior features a minimum 0.040-inch (40 mil) PVC coating that provides exceptional resistance to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. Threads are additionally protected with blue urethane coating to prevent corrosion and ensure reliable joint integrity over time. The gray finish offers high visibility for inspection purposes while maintaining a professional appearance in exposed installations. This conduit nipple excels in applications where environmental exposure is a concern, including outdoor installations, underground conduit systems, chemical processing facilities, and marine environments. Its robust construction makes it ideal for: • Heavy industrial plants requiring corrosion-resistant conduit systems • Commercial buildings with high moisture or chemical exposure • Utility infrastructure projects in coastal or high-corrosion areas • Hazardous location installations where additional protection is mandated
  • 5" (129mm) pipe size with 38-3/8" nipple length for versatile conduit runs
  • Hot-dip galvanized rigid steel core for maximum strength and impact resistance
  • 0.002" blue urethane interior coating for enhanced electrical insulation and wire pull ease
  • Minimum 0.040" PVC exterior coating for superior corrosion and abrasion resistance
  • Blue urethane thread coating for added joint protection and corrosion prevention
