Abstract
A connection system includes a turnbuckle having a first set of threads and a second set of threads disposed on an inner surface of the turnbuckle. The turnbuckle is configured to couple two threaded components to one another via rotation of the turnbuckle in a first direction. In addition, the connection system includes a compression washer configured to compress as the turnbuckle rotates in the first direction. The compression washer is configured to apply a longitudinal force to the turnbuckle while the compression washer is compressed to increase resistance to rotation of the turnbuckle in a second direction, opposite the first direction.
