Technical Specifications

This sealing locknut accommodates 2" trade size rigid and IMC conduit with standard threading. The steel construction provides excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for indoor applications. Product dimensions measure 4.05" length x 1.28" width x 1.01" height with a lightweight 0.08 lb design. The locknut features NEMA 3 environmental rating for weather protection and complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is properly cut, deburred, and threaded to standard specifications
2. Thread conduit through enclosure knockout or hub opening to desired position
3. Slide sealing locknut onto conduit with gasket facing the enclosure wall
4. Thread locknut onto conduit until gasket contacts enclosure surface
5. Tighten locknut using appropriate wrench to compress gasket and create seal
6. Verify proper sealing compression without over-tightening threads

Applications

Perfect for:

• Outdoor Electrical Enclosures - Disconnect switches, motor control centers, and distribution panels
• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail facilities, and institutional installations
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouse electrical systems
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public utility installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor terminals, control panels, and junction box entries
• Wet Location Applications - Areas subject to moisture, condensation, or weather exposure
• HVAC Systems - Rooftop units, outdoor condensers, and mechanical room installations
• Agricultural Facilities - Barns, processing buildings, and irrigation control systems

Sealing Locknut System Benefits

Sealing locknuts provide superior protection compared to standard locknuts by incorporating gasket sealing technology that prevents moisture infiltration at conduit entry points. This integrated sealing approach eliminates the need for separate sealing compounds or additional weatherproofing measures, reducing installation time while ensuring reliable long-term performance. The combination of mechanical securing and environmental sealing makes these fittings essential for outdoor and wet location electrical installations.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction delivers exceptional mechanical strength and durability for demanding electrical applications. The material provides excellent thread engagement with rigid and IMC conduit systems while maintaining dimensional stability under varying temperature conditions. Steel's inherent strength allows for proper gasket compression without thread deformation, ensuring consistent sealing performance throughout the service life of the installation.
