Locknuts of this type are used to secure threaded fittings, nipples, and pipe connections at enclosures, bulkheads, or equipment panels. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, making it appropriate for demanding wet or chemically active environments. This part falls within the 150-pound pressure class fitting category and is suitable for plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial fluid systems. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locknut is used in residential and commercial applications where a threaded pipe or fitting must be locked against a panel, tank wall, or fitting body. The female straight connection type accepts standard NPT male threads at the 2-1\/2 inch nominal size. Typical install scenarios include mechanical rooms, pump stations, pool equipment pads, and process piping where stainless hardware is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch nominal size in the 150-pound pressure class\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 150 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale straight connection for standard NPT threaded pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile allows wrench engagement for proper torque and secure seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 2-1\/2 inch nominal threaded pipe systems requiring 150-pound class stainless steel locknuts with female straight connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using an appropriate pipe wrench or spanner sized for the hex profile. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape as required by local plumbing codes such as the IPC or applicable mechanical code. Do not overtighten stainless fittings against dissimilar metals without appropriate isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150-pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951644770610,"sku":"63709","price":80.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/11c4bab9b95a2f41ffb43f8fe7f0dc8a_07b58d8a-b03a-4005-8262-23587b6e2f47.jpg?v=1791731755","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-63709-hex-locknut-2-1-2-in-316-ss-150-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
