Galvanized per ASTM A-153, this lock nut resists corrosion in damp or exposed environments. It is manufactured to ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards, ensuring consistent fit on standard tapered pipe threads. The part meets ASTM A-197 requirements for chemical and physical properties, making it suitable for pressure-rated piping assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where a code-compliant, durable threaded connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lock nut is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems. It is commonly used wherever a malleable iron threaded fitting must be positively secured against rotation or backed up at a female threaded port. Typical applications include gas distribution piping, water supply systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies where galvanized iron fittings are specified. Sold individually, it is a standard stocking item for plumbing contractors and pipe fitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for strength and machinability in threaded applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot-dip or equivalent galvanizing per ASTM A-153 for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensioned to ANSI B-16.3 and ANSI B-2.1 for compatibility with standard NPT pipe threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets Fed.

Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate pipe wrenches and apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads as required by the application. Do not over-tighten; follow applicable code guidance for makeup turns on tapered pipe threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-2.1 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensional Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B-16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanizing Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM A-153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFederal Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: WW-P-521F, WW-P-471-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00690291039126\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8700162509\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346182209842,"sku":"8700162509","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310547666.jpg?v=1782073183","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-8700162509-galvanized-lock-nut-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
