Offset conduit nipple - 1 in trade size - zinc die-cast - brand OFFSET1

What this product is for

This offset conduit nipple is used to connect rigid metal conduit or IMC to boxes, enclosures, or fittings where the raceway needs a small built-in offset for alignment.

Use for

Use for conduit entries that are slightly out of line, panel and enclosure connections, and retrofit work where a standard straight nipple will not line up cleanly. Typical market examples in this size are used with 1 in trade size rigid conduit and IMC.

Avoid for

Avoid using this as a substitute for EMT-specific connectors, PVC fittings, or liquid-tight fittings unless the manufacturer specifically lists that compatibility. Do not assume raintight performance unless it is clearly rated.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors who need a compact fitting to solve minor conduit alignment issues without field-bending a short nipple.

Installed in

Installed in commercial and residential electrical systems, typically at cabinets, junction boxes, pull boxes, and equipment enclosures. For a 1 in trade size product, the nominal conduit size is approximately 1 in (27 mm trade size reference).

Why this product exists

Offset nipples save time where a raceway entry is slightly misaligned. In common distributor listings for similar 1 in zinc die-cast offset nipples, the fitting is intended to shift the raceway axis by a small fixed amount rather than requiring a custom bend.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a straight nipple, an offset nipple helps correct alignment at the fitting. Compared with field-bent conduit, it can reduce labour on short connections. Compared with EMT offset connectors, this style is typically associated with rigid conduit or IMC, so compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
