• Reliable Grounding Path - Maintains electrical continuity throughout the conduit system
• Secure Conduit Retention - Prevents conduit movement and maintains proper positioning
• Code Compliant Performance - Meets electrical code requirements for conduit termination

Technical Specifications

This 3-inch trade size construction locknut is specifically designed for rigid and IMC conduit applications. The steel construction provides superior mechanical strength while the thin profile design (1.24" height x 3.96" length x 1.37" width) minimizes space requirements in electrical enclosures. At just 0.15 pounds, this locknut offers an optimal balance of strength and weight for professional installations. The precision-engineered threading ensures compatibility with standard 3-inch rigid and IMC conduit systems.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit end is properly deburred and clean
2. Thread locknut onto conduit end before inserting through enclosure knockout
3. Insert conduit through knockout opening to desired depth
4. Position locknut against interior surface of enclosure wall
5. Tighten locknut using appropriate locknut wrench or spanner tool
6. Verify secure connection and proper grounding continuity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Electrical Systems - Office buildings, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Installations - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial applications
• Electrical Panel Connections - Main distribution panels, sub-panels, and motor control centers
• Equipment Terminations - Switchgear, transformers, and electrical equipment connections
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facility electrical systems
• Heavy-Duty Conduit Runs - Large conduit systems requiring secure termination points
• Outdoor Electrical Installations - Weather-resistant applications in ordinary locations
• Maintenance and Retrofit Projects - Upgrading existing electrical systems with reliable components

Construction Locknut System Benefits

Construction locknuts provide superior conduit securing compared to standard locknuts by offering increased bearing surface and improved mechanical strength. The thin construction design allows for installation in space-constrained applications while maintaining full securing capability. This makes them ideal for crowded electrical panels and enclosures where every inch of space matters.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction locknuts offer exceptional durability and mechanical strength for demanding electrical applications. The steel material provides superior thread engagement and resistance to deformation under installation torque. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this locknut delivers the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand for critical installations.
