Satco 90-2116 Zinc Plated 1 and 4 Ip Steel Nipple

Connect Fixture Components Securely with the Satco 1/4 IP Steel Nipple

The Zinc Plated 1/4 IP Steel Nipple (90-2116) from Satco is a threaded fixture component designed to connect fixture parts such as canopies, stems, and junction boxes. It is suitable for residential and commercial lighting fixture assembly. Key features include its zinc plated finish and 1/4 IP thread size.

Key Features and Benefits of This Steel Nipple

The zinc plating protects the steel nipple from corrosion, which matters for fixtures that stay assembled for years without being taken apart. Its 1/4 IP (Iron Pipe) thread is a standard lighting industry size, which makes it compatible with common canopies, locknuts, and check rings.

Where to Use the 90-2116 Steel Nipple

This nipple is used inside light fixtures to join a canopy to a junction box or to extend a stem connection. It is a component part for fixture assembly or repair rather than a visible finished piece.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm the fixture's other threaded parts, such as locknuts or check rings, use the same 1/4 IP thread size before ordering, since mismatched threads will not connect. It threads on by hand and does not require any electrical wiring of its own.

Additional Buying Context

This nipple is a common replacement part for electricians rebuilding or repairing older fixtures with worn threading. A specification sheet is available from Satco confirming exact thread and diameter, which helps buyers match it correctly to existing fixture parts.
