Overview:
The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 3/4" is a heavy-duty fastening component used to secure rigid steel conduit (RSC) to electrical boxes, fittings, and other conduit connections. With a 3/4-inch size, it is ideal for medium-sized conduit systems, offering reliable and secure connections in both residential and commercial electrical installations. The locknut is zinc-plated, providing enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including those exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions.
Product Description:
The Rigid Steel Locknut with Zinc Plated 3/4" is designed to securely attach rigid steel conduit to electrical boxes or other fittings, ensuring that the conduit remains tightly in place. The zinc plating on the steel locknut offers additional protection against corrosion, which helps extend the lifespan of the connection and makes it ideal for use in outdoor or damp conditions. This locknut is typically threaded onto the conduit and fastened against an electrical box or fitting, where it holds the conduit in place and provides a secure, stable connection.
The 3/4" size is commonly used for medium-sized rigid conduit, providing strong, reliable connections in a variety of electrical installations. The locknut is easy to install by hand, eliminating the need for special tools, which makes it a convenient choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
