Appleton 106 Malleable Iron Grounding Locknut 2 Inch

Product Description

The APPLETON 106 is a 2-inch malleable iron grounding locknut designed to establish a reliable electrical ground path in metallic conduit installations. This locknut threads onto the end of a conduit hub or knockout to secure the fitting and maintain continuous ground continuity through the enclosure wall. Malleable iron construction provides the mechanical strength required for industrial and commercial wiring applications. Electricians use this locknut as a standard component when terminating rigid metal conduit or intermediate metal conduit at junction boxes, panels, and enclosures where a grounding locknut is required by code.

The APPLETON 106 is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations where a 2-inch grounding locknut is required at conduit terminations. Typical applications include service entrance work, panel feeders, and branch circuit conduit runs terminating at metal enclosures. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit projects where existing locknuts must be replaced to restore ground continuity.

Key Features

• 2-inch trade size fits standard 2-inch conduit knockouts and hubs
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Grounding-style locknut maintains electrical ground continuity at conduit terminations
• Low-profile design at approximately 0.160 inches height minimizes stack-up at enclosure walls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement grounding locknut for use with 2-inch rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit terminations at standard metallic enclosures and panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code. De-energize the panel or enclosure and verify absence of voltage before beginning conduit termination work. Thread the locknut onto the conduit end or fitting hub and tighten firmly with a locknut wrench or screwdriver and hammer to achieve solid metal-to-metal contact for the ground path. Do not substitute a standard locknut where a grounding locknut is specified by the installation design or AHJ.
