Lock nuts are special nuts that are used in construction, home improvement, and Plumbing projects. Primarily, lock nuts are used to prevent the loosening of fasteners and washers - essentially locking them in place.

At what voltage do you need to use double locknuts on Rigid Metal Conduit?

There are no voltage regulations. A rigid conduit system used two locknuts and one bushing at every connection to a junction box unless the box has a hub. One outside the box and the other locknut inside the box. These are tightened against each other to make the connection secure and to scratch the paint on the outside of the box to make continuity of the metallic system. Continuity of the system is a must as this is the return path for any short circuit that might occur. Rigid connections to fittings require no locknuts as the conduit's threaded end screws into the fitting.

How do you install a sissy bar for a sportster 1200c?

If your installing stock sissy bars and side straps. You will need the following tools: 3/16 " hex wrench and 5/32" hex wrench. Oh! get a 1/2" combination wrench. 1. Remove two button head socket screws and locknuts that hold fender support to fender. Your sissy bar should supply the new screws but save the locknuts. When installing the new screws make sure the steel T-spacers inside of fender are still in rubber grommets before tightening. 2. Position the side strap on fender support and insert supplied buttonhead screws through side strap and fendersupport. Use the OEM locknuts removed in step 1 on screws and tighten to 8-13 ft.-lbs. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other side. 4. Install the sissy bar to the side straps and tighten with the four buttonhead screws supplied with kit. That sums it up... Jaime G.

How do you remove rear speakers in a 1998 Buick Skylark?

If it's like the earlier Skylarks (before the re-design in '96), you have to take the back seat out, which is a royal pain. What I did when I changed mine is crawl into the trunk with some pliers and unscrew the screws upwards and remove the speakers that way. I used #10 screws and locknuts to put new ones in and it worked. I sure would like to know who designs these things.
