2-inch Class 150 Hex Locknut

This malleable iron hex locknut provides a secure FNPT connection for 2-inch pipe systems. Rated to Class 150 standards, it suits plumbing and industrial piping installations requiring reliable threaded joints. The fitting meets ANSI B16.39 and federal specification WW-P-521 for dimensional conformance.

ASTM A-197 Material Compliance

The locknut is manufactured to ASTM A-197 material specification, ensuring consistent malleable iron quality for mechanical strength. This standard governs the casting properties that affect thread integrity and pressure containment. No additional coatings or sealants are included with the fitting.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

Verify that your system operates within a maximum pressure of 300 psi at 150 degrees F and saturated steam pressure of 150 psi. The temperature range spans -20 degrees to 366 degrees F, so confirm compatibility with your media and ambient conditions. Ensure the FNPT thread type matches the mating components before installation.

Questions about this item

How often will the malleable iron hex locknut need replacement in a typical plumbing system?

The locknut is made from malleable iron to ASTM A-197 and conforms to ANSI B 16.39, so it is designed for the service life of the piping system and does not have a scheduled replacement interval.

What is the first pressure or temperature limit reached under sustained use?

The maximum working pressure is 300 psi at 150 degrees F, and saturated steam pressure is rated at 150 psi; the temperature range extends from -20 to 366 degrees F.

Does the locknut generate any noise, heat or power draw when installed in a continuously running system?

As a passive mechanical fitting with FNPT threads, it has no moving parts, draws no power, produces no heat of its own and creates no audible noise during operation.
