Rigid Conduit Close Nipple - 1/2 in trade size galvanized steel threaded both ends · 1/2XCLOSE

SKU: CF-1/2XCLOSE

1/2 in rigid conduit close nipple for joining threaded rigid or IMC conduit to boxes, enclosures, gutters, and wireways. Close length is typically about 1-1/8 in (29 mm); verify fit and thread compatibility before ordering.

What this product is for

This 1/2 in rigid conduit close nipple is used to make a short threaded connection between enclosures, boxes, gutters, wireways, or threaded rigid/IMC conduit components. It is commonly specified where minimum spacing is needed between two threaded entries.

Use for

Use for rigid metal conduit (RMC) or IMC installations where a short threaded steel nipple is required. Typical applications include panelboards, junction boxes, pull boxes, and wireway connections in commercial and industrial work.

Avoid for

Avoid using this part where a longer nipple is required for locknut and bushing clearance, or where corrosion resistance calls for PVC-coated, stainless steel, or aluminium alternatives. Do not assume suitability for hazardous locations unless the full assembly and code requirements are confirmed.

Best for

Best for electricians needing a compact threaded raceway connection in 1/2 in trade size. It suits service work, retrofit work, and tight enclosure-to-enclosure connections.

Installed in

Installed in electrical rooms, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and other threaded metal raceway systems. Commonly used with locknuts, bushings, couplings, and threaded hubs.

Why this product exists

A close nipple provides the shortest practical threaded conduit connection when standard nipple lengths would add unnecessary spacing. This helps maintain compact layouts while preserving a threaded metal raceway path.

Compared with similar products

Compared with standard-length nipples, a close nipple reduces stand-off distance between connected components. Compared with EMT fittings, this product is intended for threaded rigid/IMC systems. As a rule of thumb, conduit fill should still be planned to applicable code limits, typically not more than 40 percent, and actual installation requirements depend on conductor type, fittings, and local electrical code.
