Eaton Specification Sheet - NPL250CL
Rigid/IMC steel construction provides rugged mechanical protection for conduit runs in busy environments, absorbing impact and vibration that can loosen connections over time. Business impact: fewer field repairs and longer service life, which translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime during plant changes. Application: panel assemblies, service entrances, and factory floor installations where durable conduit transitions are critical. Galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance in ordinary and non-hazardous locations, elevating performance in damp or dusty environments. Business impact: extended lifecycle and reduced coating maintenance, improving total cost of ownership. Application: outdoor enclosures, warehouse bays, and indoor spaces with humidity where galvanized steel stands up to weathering. Size and length of 2-1/2 inch x CLOSE provide a compact profile that fits tight spaces while maintaining a robust conduit path. Business impact: enables denser wiring schemes, faster routing, and standardized splices, cutting installation time. Application: close-fitting panel networks and equipment cabinets where space is at a premium. Weight around 0.88 lb makes handling easier during field installs and reduces crew fatigue on long conduit runs. Business impact: lower labor costs and safer handling, especially in constrained environments. Application: multi-run installations and retrofits where lighter components speed up commissioning without compromising strength. Code compliance with NEC/CEC and non-hazardous area classification provides procurement confidence and reduces risk during audits. Business impact: simplified specification, easier cross-border sourcing, and faster project approvals. Application: industrial automation facilities in North America where standard conduit fittings are mandated. Brand reliability and compatibility with standard rigid-IMC fittings help technicians source spares and maintain consistent performance. Business impact: fewer stock-keeping units and quicker replacements, translating into lower total cost of ownership. Application: integration with Eaton Crouse-Hinds family and broader NPL nipples across projects.

FAQs
The NPL250CL is a rigid/IMC conduit nipple designed for standard panel and enclosure terminations. It supports typical locknuts, bushings, and fittings used with rigid and IMC conduit in North American electrical installations. For best results, align the conduit paths, ensure proper mating with compatible fittings, and follow manufacturer torque specs to maintain seal integrity and mechanical strength during commissioning.
Key specifications include a 2-1/2 inch size, CLOSE length, steel construction, galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, and an approximate weight of 0.88 lb. It is designed for rigid/IMC conduit and carries NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, making it suitable for common industrial installations where reliability matters.
Yes, the galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance that benefits outdoor or damp environments typical of ordinary/non-hazardous locations. While it is appropriate for these settings, confirm any site-specific exposure with your risk assessment and ensure you pair the nipple with compatible, properly rated fittings for moisture protection and enclosure integrity.
The NPL250CL supports NEC/CEC standards for general conduit installations and is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. The Eaton data package also references UL certification options for related rigid-IMC components, so checking Eaton’s specification sheet ensures precise UL listings for this exact part in your jurisdiction is recommended.
The 2-1/2 inch CLOSE conduit nipple with galvanization reduces field rework due to robust corrosion resistance and a compact profile that fits tighter spaces. Lighter weight facilitates handling, and NEC/CEC compliance streamlines approvals. Collectively, these factors shorten commissioning windows, lower maintenance needs, and reduce total cost of ownership over the service life of industrial conduit networks.
