BRASS BACKNUT 1/2"

Product Description

A Brass Backnut 1/2″ is a heavy-duty threaded locknut used in plumbing systems to secure fittings, taps, valves, and connections where a male-threaded part passes through a wall, panel, or tank. Made from solid brass, this backnut offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it a reliable alternative to plastic nuts for long-term use in hot and cold water supplies. It forms a sturdy mechanical connection and is tightened with standard tools for leak-resistant performance in residential and commercial plumbing installations.
