Overview

The ABB 146SL is a 2-inch steel sealing locknut designed for secure termination of rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this component ensures a robust mechanical connection and watertight seal at conduit entry points, preventing the ingress of dust, dirt, and moisture. Its zinc-plated steel construction provides durability and resistance to physical stress, making it ideal for industrial and commercial applications where environmental contaminants could compromise wiring integrity. With dimensions of 3.175 inches (A) and a 3/16-inch thickness (B), it accommodates standard 2-inch rigid and IMC conduit. Installation is simplified: thread the locknut onto the conduit, insert into the enclosure, and tighten with a rigid conduit locknut or bushing for a secure, grounded connection.
