Hex Locknut Construction
A hex locknut uses internal female threads to engage a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, or component.
The hex-shaped exterior provides wrench flats for controlled tightening and removal. Once positioned, the locknut can help secure the threaded component against a mating surface or fitting.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting may remain visible.
