Manufactured from malleable iron and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating per ASTM A-153, this lock nut resists corrosion in wet and outdoor installations. It conforms to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specifications, making it a code-compliant choice for low-pressure piping systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a mechanical lock is needed on a threaded connection to maintain joint integrity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lock nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems where 1\/4 inch NPT threaded connections are used. It is commonly installed on pipe runs requiring a secondary fastening point at fittings, valves, or bushings. The galvanized finish extends service life in damp or exposed environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work on ferrous pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized coating complies with ASTM A-153 for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensional conformance to ANSI B-16.3 and ANSI B-16.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePipe threads per ANSI B-2.1 for reliable NPT engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets Federal Specification WW-P-521F and WW-P-471-B for ferrous pipe fittings and locknuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for 1\/4 inch NPT threaded ferrous piping systems in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded ferrous pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection.
