Abstract: A locknut for use in electrical conduit installations is disclosed. The lock nut is fabricated by a precise manufacturing process resulting in a high strength and precisely manufactured locknut. By use of the machining process, higher strength and higher quality materials can be utilized. The locknut provides a more secure gripping surface as a result of larger gripping surface on the exterior perimeter thereof.

Abstract: A twisted quick connector for connecting a spiraled armored electrical conduit or cable. (BX) to a junction box. It is applied onto the end of the spiraled armored conduit or the BX cable by twisting it clockwise by hand, thereby threading it on to the spirals.
