Aluminum construction provides inherent corrosion resistance and a lighter profile than steel, reducing handling effort and transport costs. This translates to faster installations and lower labor exposure in overhead runs, particularly beneficial for busy electrical rooms and outdoor installations. The product’s rigid/IMC conduit compatibility delivers a robust mechanical connection that minimizes vibration and loosening over time, improving system reliability in automated facilities. With a 6 x 5 size specification and a weight of 2.08 lb, it fits easily within standard mounting envelopes and reduces the need for extra adapters, saving material costs and installation time. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous ratings simplify cross-border procurement and regulatory alignment for North American projects. The UPC and catalog references streamline ordering, while Canadian certifications support UL/CSA compliance in Canadian facilities. This single conduit nipple integrates with existing Crouse-Hinds locknuts, washers, reducers, and plugs, ensuring seamless compatibility across the Eaton family. In practice, installers gain confidence from documented specifications and easily verifiable data sheets, reducing call-backs and warranty issues. Imagine a pull-through run where a snug, corrosion-resistant connection keeps maintenance windows short and predictable, even in challenging environments.

FAQs
When installing the NPL600500 SA you should verify IMC compatibility and ensure the mating locknut or reducer is designed for rigid/IMC aluminum conduit. Align the nipple with the conduit run to avoid cross-threading and minimize bending stress. Use standard tools for threading and tighten to the recommended torque to maintain a secure, corrosion-resistant connection in ordinary locations. The part’s aluminum construction aids handling in overhead or confined spaces, reducing fatigue during installation.
Yes, the NPL600500 SA adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, supporting common North American installations. Its aluminum rigid/IMC design provides durable performance in non-hazardous environments, while the catalog and UL/CSA certification history supports cross-border projects. This makes it a reliable choice for commercial buildings, factories, and process facilities where standard conduit fittings are required.
Key specifications include aluminum material, rigid/IMC conduit type, and a size designation of 6 inches by 5 inches in the package. The product weighs 2.08 pounds, with overall dimensions around 6.63 inches in width and height and 5 inches in depth. Its UPC is 662276485204, and catalog number is NPL600500 SA, enabling precise ordering and inventory management.
Aluminum’s corrosion resistance reduces maintenance cycles in exposure-prone areas, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. The nipple’s robust rigid/IMC construction minimizes loosening and vibration-related wear, decreasing potential downtime. Lighter weight simplifies handling, which can shorten installation times and lower labor costs.
