Value Collection 6LN2 Stainless Steel Lock Nut Npt

Product Description

The Value Collection 6LN2 is a stainless steel lock nut with NPT end connection, designed for use in pipe fitting assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling systems. Lock nuts are used to secure fittings, bushings, and conduit connections in place, preventing loosening under vibration or pressure cycling. The 6LN2 is constructed from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. At 0.23 pounds and measuring 0.53 inches in length and 2.87 inches in width, this is a compact, single-piece hardware component suited for professional installation.

The 6LN2 lock nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where NPT-threaded pipe connections require a secure locking fastener. Typical use cases include securing pipe fittings at panel knockouts, bulkhead connections, and conduit entry points in plumbing and mechanical systems. The stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice in corrosive or high-moisture environments such as pool equipment enclosures, mechanical rooms, and outdoor installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental hardware fitting for standard NPT-threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or isolate the relevant pipe section before fitting work begins. Use appropriate pipe wrenches or strap wrenches rated for stainless steel fittings to avoid galling the threads. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can seize if excessive force is applied without thread lubricant or anti-seize compound.
