What Is an Electrical Nipple?

An electrical nipple is a short conduit that connects two electrical enclosures or boxes that are close together. It provides a continuous, grounded pathway for wiring, ensuring mechanical support and electrical safety. Nipples come in various diameters and lengths to accommodate different system configurations.

Types of Nipples Available at EWEL 

Rigid Steel Nipples

Rigid Steel Nipples deliver unmatched strength and mechanical protection for conduit connections. Manufactured from solid steel, they're built for rigid conduit systems and are especially valuable in areas where wiring needs to withstand physical stress, vibration, or impact. 

Chase Nipples

Chase Nipples are designed with a lock nut that secures a box or enclosure to a cabinet, panelboard, or similar electrical device, even when the knockout is oversized or slightly misaligned. This design helps maintain a continuous, code-compliant conduit run while protecting conductors from abrasion as they pass through knockouts or openings. 

Applications of Electrical Nipples

Whether using a conduit nipple to connect a panel to a disconnect switch or installing electrical nipple connectors to bridge two junction boxes, these fittings are essential for maintaining continuity in conduit systems. Properly installed nipples prevent strain on wires, simplify maintenance, and contribute to long-lasting, code-compliant systems.
