TSI INOX Conduits presents our premium Stainless Steel Chase Nipple, a versatile and essential fitting for connecting electrical boxes and enclosures or terminating conduit in demanding applications. Manufactured from premium SS316 stainless steel with a vibration polished finish, our chase nipples deliver superior corrosion resistance, hygienic cleanability, and reliable mechanical connections in corrosive environments.
A chase nipple is a short pipe fitting with male threads on one end and a hex head on the other, designed to create a path for wires between two electrical boxes or to connect a coupling to a box or enclosure. It is commonly used with a locknut to effectively bush factory or field-punched, cut, or drilled holes in metal boxes and enclosures, and to couple boxes side-by-side or back-to-back. The term "chase" originates from the Chase-Shawmut Company of Boston, the original manufacturer of this fitting. Whether you are installing in food processing facilities, chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, or marine environments, TSI's stainless steel chase nipples deliver the quality, durability, and code compliance your project demands.
