Rigid close nipple - 1-1/4 in trade size - male threaded steel fitting - 1.25XCLOSE
1-1/4 in rigid close nipple for joining threaded rigid or IMC conduit where minimum spacing is needed. Common listings show this style as galvanized steel with male threads on both ends for short, tight conduit connections.
What this product is for
This rigid close nipple is used to join threaded rigid metal conduit or IMC in very short connection points where standard nipple lengths add too much spacing. It is commonly used at enclosures, pull boxes, meter bases, and other threaded fittings.
Use for
Use for 1-1/4 in trade size rigid or IMC conduit connections, especially where equipment needs to sit close to the box or enclosure wall. Typical product listings describe this style as a galvanized steel nipple with male threads on both ends.
Avoid for
Avoid using this as a substitute for EMT fittings, non-threaded raceway connections, or applications that require a listed sealing fitting, bonding fitting, or corrosion-resistant material beyond standard galvanized steel. Confirm compatibility with the full raceway system and local code requirements.
Best for
Best for commercial and industrial conduit work where space is tight and a short threaded connection is needed. Also useful when joining threaded hubs or fittings with minimal stand-off.
Installed in
Typically installed in electrical rooms, service equipment, industrial panels, outdoor enclosures with the correct hubs or sealing components, and other rigid conduit systems. Trade size is 1-1/4 in, approximately 32 mm.
Why this product exists
A close nipple provides the shortest practical threaded conduit connection when a standard nipple would create unnecessary spacing. This helps electricians keep raceway runs compact and aligned at equipment entries.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard-length rigid nipples, a close nipple minimizes the gap between connected components. Compared with chase nipples, this style is generally intended for threaded rigid or IMC raceway connections rather than simple pass-through termination. Verify the exact fitting style required for the installation.
