Overview:
The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 2" is a robust and durable locking component designed to secure 2-inch rigid steel conduit to electrical boxes, junction boxes, and other fittings. This locknut is primarily used in larger electrical installations where a secure, stable connection between the conduit and electrical enclosures is needed. Its zinc-plated coating offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications, especially in environments prone to moisture, humidity, or chemicals.
Product Description:
The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 2" is designed to provide a secure and reliable attachment for rigid steel conduit, ensuring the conduit remains firmly connected to electrical boxes and fittings. The 2-inch size is typically used for heavy-duty or industrial electrical installations, where larger conduit is required to protect conductors and ensure proper electrical flow.
The locknut features internal threads that screw onto the rigid steel conduit, securing it tightly against the box or fitting. The zinc-plated finish protects the locknut from corrosion, making it well-suited for use in environments exposed to moisture or other corrosive elements.
Installing this locknut is straightforward, as it can be tightened by hand, which simplifies the installation process without the need for additional tools. It is also UL Listed and compliant with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, ensuring it meets the necessary safety requirements.
