It provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection where threaded pipe or fittings must be locked in place against a surface or fitting face. The 2-11\/2 NPT female straight thread engages standard tapered male threads, and the galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet or outdoor environments. Rated at 150 psi, this locknut handles typical residential and light commercial piping pressures. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas, water, and general-purpose piping assemblies where a locking fastener is required on a threaded connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locknut is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and general industrial piping applications. It is a standard 150-pound malleable iron galvanized fitting suited for installations where vibration or mechanical movement could loosen standard fittings over time. Common install scenarios include securing pipe nipples through panels or brackets and locking union connections in fixed piping runs. It is appropriate for use within its rated temperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized malleable iron construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating suitable for residential and light commercial piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-11\/2 NPT female straight thread for standard pipe compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex profile allows standard wrench engagement for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.55-inch height profile for use in space-constrained installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 2-inch nominal 150-pound galvanized malleable iron pipe fitting assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before engagement. Use a properly sized wrench on the hex profile and avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11\/2 NPT Female Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F\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\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.39 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: 64708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951295922482,"sku":"64708","price":20.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ed87e15e48ad3db98c9c8123bf08285e.jpg?v=1791724139","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64708-hex-locknut-2-in-galvanized-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
