What type of fittings provide a small offset from conduit to a box?

Offset nipples are designed to provide a small offset between conduit and a box, allowing for alignment or adjustment in tight spaces. They are typically short sections of conduit with a slight bend or angle, effectively creating a pathway to help transition the conduit into a box without requiring complex bending or additional fittings. This functionality is particularly useful when dealing with installation constraints where direct alignment isn't possible, ensuring that connections are still secure and compliant with code requirements. The unique design of offset nipples makes them a preferred solution in these scenarios, facilitating smoother installations and maintaining the integrity of the overall conduit system.
