    Zinc-Plated Steel—The strength of steel with a plating that protects from occasional exposure to moisture.
    316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant fittings won't degrade when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals.
    Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel that's the same size. Aluminum is also nonmagnetic to prevent electrical interference in nearby equipment.
    PVC Molded Gasket—Creates a seal for moisture protection.
    Serrated Facing—Grips the material surface for added stability.

    Plastic Pipe Locknuts for Oil

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe Locknuts. Plastic Pipe Locknuts for Oil.
    Made of corrosion-resistant plastic, these locknuts won’t deteriorate when used in oil applications. They also have high strength and impact resistance. Apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads to prevent leaks. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the locknut, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe locknuts and pipe with compressed air or gas.
