Eaton Specification Sheet - NPL250800
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The NPL250800 uses galvanized steel to resist corrosion, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life in harsh environments. This improves uptime for plant equipment and reduces the need for frequent replacements in conduit runs across panels and enclosures. Application: ideal for industrial facilities using rigid/IMC conduit in non-hazardous areas, including manufacturing floors and utility rooms, where code compliance and durability are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 2-1/2 inch by 8 inch size provides a standardized, widely compatible termination for mid-size conduit runs, enabling faster installation and fewer field adjustments. Application: suitable for mid-length conduit runs in machine shops, warehouses, and process lines with strict NEC/CEC requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance without painting, reducing maintenance cycles and inventory complexity. Application: outdoor enclosures and exposed installations where moisture is a factor, ensuring consistent electrical integrity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL and NEC/CEC compliance support safer, code-adherent installations, decreasing risk of non-compliance penalties. Application: projects undergoing code audits or retrofits where documentation and certified fittings are required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Catalog-level compatibility with other Crouse-Hinds components simplifies procurement and reduces total cost of ownership. Application: large-scale installations requiring standardized modular fittings for rapid assembly and predictable performance.

FAQs
The NPL250800 is designed for standard rigid/IMC conduit systems and aligns with typical North American threading and coupling practices. Ensure the conduit nipple length (8 inches) matches your layout and that you pair it with compatible locknuts, washers, and fittings from the Crouse-Hinds family. Proper torque and alignment minimize stress at joints and reduce leakage points, while galvanization supports corrosion resistance in ordinary locations.
Galvanized steel provides a protective zinc coating that improves resistive performance in typical industrial environments, extending service life in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This reduces maintenance needs and replacement frequency, particularly in damp or mildly corrosive environments, while maintaining NEC/CEC compliance for safe and reliable conduit connections.
The NPL250800’s galvanized finish enhances corrosion resistance and makes it well-suited for many outdoor or damp settings within ordinary locations. However, for extreme weather, marine, or hazardous environments you should verify specific site demands and consult the manufacturer’s certification documentation to ensure the fitment meets all local codes and installation standards.
This conduit nipple adheres to NEC/CEC standards for conduit fittings and is associated with UL certification evidence in the provided documentation. Verification can be done by reviewing the UL certification pages listed in the product downloads and cross-checking with the NEC/CEC compliance statements in Eaton’s specification sheet for NPL250800.
The galvanized steel construction delivers corrosion resistance with reduced maintenance needs, while the standard 2-1/2 in x 8 in size supports consistent installation across multiple panels and runs. Using a catalog-standard part like NPL250800 streamlines procurement, lowers total cost of ownership, and helps maintain system integrity through predictable performance and easier field servicing.
