Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 1-1/2"

Overview:

The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 1-1/2" is a heavy-duty fastening component designed to secure rigid steel conduit (RSC) to electrical boxes, junction boxes, or other conduit fittings. Sized for 1-1/2" conduit, this locknut is typically used in larger electrical systems where durability and a strong, secure connection are required. The zinc-plated finish enhances the locknut’s resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance even in challenging environmental conditions, such as outdoor or industrial applications.

Product Description:

The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 1-1/2" is specifically designed to fit 1-1/2-inch rigid steel conduit, providing a secure and reliable attachment to electrical enclosures, boxes, and other conduit fittings. The locknut is threaded internally, allowing it to be easily screwed onto the conduit and tightened against the electrical box or fitting. This ensures a tight, stable connection that prevents the conduit from loosening over time.

The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance, making this locknut ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor applications, particularly in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or corrosive elements. The locknut is easy to install by hand, making it a practical choice for both professionals and DIY electricians.
