Kohler 20833 Locknut

Product Description

The KOHLER 20833 is a locknut designed for use in plumbing fixture assemblies. Locknuts secure drain, faucet, or supply components to mounting surfaces, resisting loosening caused by vibration or torque during normal use. This hardware-category part is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced plumbing contractors during fixture installation or repair. At 0.115 pounds, it is a compact fastener suited for standard residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This locknut is used where a threaded fastener is needed to clamp a fixture body, drain flange, or supply connection against a sink deck, tub, or mounting surface. It is appropriate for new installation work as well as service and replacement scenarios where the original fastener has become damaged, corroded, or lost.

Key Features

• Locknut design resists backing off under vibration and repeated use
• Compact and lightweight at 0.115 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing fixture assemblies
• OEM-style replacement part from KOHLER

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement locknut for KOHLER plumbing fixture assemblies. Confirm fitment against the original equipment part number before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning any fixture disassembly. Hand-tighten the locknut first to ensure proper thread engagement, then use an appropriate basin wrench or pliers to snug the fastener without over-tightening, which can crack fixture decks or strip threads. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fixture mounting.
