Topaz Lighting TOP-279 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Topaz 278 heavy square fixture locknut come in, and which part number is which?
Two trade sizes. The 1/8 inch locknut is part number 278 and the 1/4 inch is part number 279. Both are the same heavy square steel body, just threaded for the different stem size, so order by the thread on the fixture stem or nipple you are securing.
2) Why choose a heavy square locknut over a standard thin locknut for a stem-hung fixture?
The square profile gives you flats to grab with a wrench, so you can pull the joint tighter than you can with a thin stamped ring nut, and the heavier body resists loosening from vibration on a pendant or stem drop. On a hung fixture where the nut is carrying and holding alignment, that extra grip and torque is the reason to spec the heavy square version.
3) Can I use these locknuts on a conduit entry into a panelboard?
Yes, where the threaded entry matches the 1/8 or 1/4 inch size. Panelboard and load center conduit entry fastening is listed among the intended applications for the Topaz heavy square steel locknut, along with new construction and renovation raceway work. For larger conduit trade sizes at a panel knockout you need a locknut sized to that conduit instead.
4) Does the Topaz 278 locknut thread on, or does it need a set screw?
It threads on. The connection method is threaded, so it simply spins onto the matching 1/8 or 1/4 inch fixture stem or threaded conduit and tightens against the fixture canopy, box, or hub. No set screw, no separate hardware.
