Whatchamacallit RMC Nipple

[George Stolz]

What is it called when you have a nipple threaded all the same way, so as to retro in a nipple after panels are up?

Also, are these generally on the shelf?

Running thread. I dont remember seeing them at a supply house

Are you talking about running threads? Where the cut threads just keep going?
They are not a shelf item. Not that I know of anyway.
And they are illegal for some uses.

 

[George Stolz]

You can't leave me hanging like that. What are some uses they're illegal for?

Note 342.42(B) and 344.42(B)

Ah, okay. How would that even work? :blink:

Close nipple. Early in morning could be reading this wrong.

Often running thread is stocked by supply houses. I have bought it in the 3 and 4" conduit sizes. It is only illegal it use at a coupling and is handy for connections between two enclosures that are close to each other.
