For rugged piping joints that need dependable performance, the Anvil 1-1/4 in. FPT Galvanized Malleable Iron Lock Nut delivers a secure, corrosion-resistant connection you can trust. Sized for standard male fittings, this 1-1/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) lock nut threads smoothly into place, creating a tight, reliable lock in demanding environments.
Constructed from durable malleable iron and finished with a galvanizing coating, this lock nut resists rust and corrosion in moisture-prone settings—from outdoor installations to demanding indoor applications. The malleable iron alloy balances strength with a little inherent give, helping to reduce the risk of cracking under vibration or dynamic loads while maintaining a robust locking action over time. The galvanized surface adds an extra layer of protection, extending service life in wet or humid conditions.
