Overview

The ABB 147AL 2-1/2" Aluminum Locknut (SKU: 147AL) is a UL-listed component designed for secure fastening of Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. Constructed from durable aluminum, this locknut provides reliable mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in indoor and outdoor electrical installations. The 2-1/2" size ensures compatibility with standard Rigid/IMC conduit diameters, eliminating the need for adapters or reducers in most applications. Key features include a threaded design that locks onto conduit threads, preventing loosening from vibration or thermal expansion. The aluminum construction offers a lightweight yet robust solution, reducing system weight compared to steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity. This locknut is ideal for use in commercial, industrial, and utility applications where conduit systems require secure, long-lasting connections. Installation is straightforward: thread the locknut onto the conduit end before securing the conduit to an enclosure or junction box. The aluminum material resists oxidation and chemical degradation, making it suitable for harsh environments, including chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and coastal installations. ABB’s Installation Products line ensures compliance with NEC and OSHA standards for electrical safety and mechanical stability.
