Eaton Crouse-Hinds NPL150600 conduit nipple - Galvanized
Part Number: NPL150600
Quick Summary
The NPL150600 conduit nipple from Eaton Crouse-Hinds is a rigid IMC steel fitting used to connect conduit run sections. In the field, installers often contend with corrosion, misalignment, and part proliferation that slow projects. This product meets NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, supporting safe, compliant installations. With galvanized steel and a compact 1-1/2 in by 6 in footprint, it delivers durable performance and straightforward procurement for wiring and connectivity initiatives. Its compatibility with standard conduit sizes and mounting practices reduces change orders and accelerates handoffs to maintenance teams. Engineers also gain from supply-chain resilience thanks to a widely available galvanized option and documented specification.

Eaton Specification Sheet - NPL150600
Galvanized steel finish provides robust corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in factory floors and outdoor enclosures. For engineers, this translates into lower total cost of ownership and fewer parts to stock. In practice, NPL150600 fits seamlessly into existing Wiring & Connectivity schemes and pairs well with locknuts and washers from the same Eaton Crouse-Hinds family, enabling fast, code-compliant assemblies in ordinary locations. Size and length specification of 1-1/2 in by 6 in offers predictable fit with standard conduit runs, minimizing the need for custom adapters and accelerating retrofit projects. This translates to shorter installation times and fewer field measurements in crowded electrical rooms. Rigid/IMC design and the 6 inch length deliver mechanical strength against vibration and impact, critical for machines and outdoor equipment subject to movement or temperature cycling. NEC/CEC compliance ensures installations meet code requirements, simplifying documentation and procurement workflows. Compatibility with standard mating components and a familiar Eaton fittings ecosystem reduces learning curves and rework, supporting faster project handoffs and easier maintenance. Industry-standard dimensions and a widely available galvanized option improve supply chain resilience, reducing downtime during spares shortages and ensuring consistent performance across sites.

FAQs
Designed for rigid/IMC conduit systems, the NPL150600 fits 1-1/2 inch conduits with a 6 inch length, making it ideal for service panels, equipment enclosures, and outdoor installations where soil or moisture exposure exists. It threads with standard locknuts and compatible washers within Eaton Crouse-Hinds’ conduit fittings family, ensuring consistent alignment and reducing the need for custom adapters.
NEC/CEC compliance is built into the NPL150600, supporting code-adjacent installations in ordinary and non-hazardous locations. The steel construction with galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, while the rigid/IMC design ensures mechanical strength against vibration and impact. Use in conjunction with approved locknuts, washers, and reducers aligns with typical electrical fitting assemblies for panel, machine, and outdoor enclosures.
While the NPL150600 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, its galvanized steel construction provides robust corrosion resistance in damp or dusty environments commonly found in manufacturing floors and service bays. For harsher locations, consider additional protection such as enclosure housings or sealants at mating surfaces, and verify local codes and IP classifications before deployment.
Ensure proper alignment by pre-fitting with compatible Eaton Crouse-Hinds locknuts and washers, and verify conduit end preparation to minimize thread damage. Use appropriate torque during tightening to prevent galling, and protect the galvanized surface from impact during handling. Stock NPL150600 in standard lengths to streamline spares and simplify replacements during routine maintenance.
Choosing galvanized NPL nipples like NPL150600 reduces maintenance costs through longer service life and lower replacement rates in non-hazardous environments. The durable finish resists corrosion, minimizing downtime from leaks or conduit failures. Standardized size and compatibility with existing Eaton fittings also lower procurement complexity and inventory carrying costs for maintenance teams.
