Eaton Specification Sheet - NPL501200
Galvanized steel construction with a durable finish delivers robust corrosion resistance, lowering maintenance costs and extending service life in damp, dusty, or outdoor environments. This directly reduces downtime and replacement needs, translating to a lower total cost of ownership for industrial wiring projects. The component is designed to integrate with standard rigid/IMC conduit fittings and specifically supports a 1/2 inch x 12 inch run, ensuring predictable field assembly and compatibility with existing stock. By meeting NEC/CEC standards and being rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, it minimizes regulatory risk and accelerates project sign-off in commercial and manufacturing sites. The galvanized finish also improves handling and installation ease, reducing crew fatigue on long runs. With a weight around 0.814 lb, it offers a solid balance of stability and manageability for on-site installation without complicating transport or storage. This makes it a practical choice for contractor inventories and procurement planning in industrial environments.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the 1/2 in x 12 in NPL501200 matches your conduit and enclosure requirements. Prepare cut ends cleanly, then thread or slip the nipple into the mating fittings using appropriate locknuts and washers from a compatible Rigid-IMC catalog. Tighten to the recommended torque to ensure a secure seal, and verify alignment before energizing the circuit. This approach minimizes leakage paths and ensures long-term mechanical integrity in industrial environments.
Key specs include size 1/2 in x 12 in, material steel with a galvanized finish, conduit typeRigid/IMC, product weight about 0.814 lb, and UPC 662277039673. It is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. These details ensure compatibility with standard conduit fittings and regulatory alignment for non-hazardous industrial installations.
NPL501200 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for many indoor and sheltered outdoor settings but not intended for hazardous or explosive atmospheres. The galvanized steel finish provides moisture resistance, which helps in damp or exposed environments, but for hazardous locations you should select fittings specifically rated for those conditions.
The product adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is designated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Certification materials include Canadian certification references and UL/UL Canada documentation available through the catalog pages, ensuring regulatory compliance for common building and industrial applications in North America.
Leverage its galvanized finish and rigid/IMC compatibility to minimize corrosion-related maintenance and rework. Stock standard 1/2 in x 12 in nipples to reduce field cutting and mismatches, use compatible locknuts and washers from the Rigid-IMC catalog, and store components in a dry area to maintain finish quality. These practices shorten project timelines and extend service life, delivering measurable lifecycle savings.
