No, I don't think it is.

I'm going to move your topic to the hardware section; hopefully someone familiar with your filter will be able to help you.

lock nuts on a fluval are plastic nuts that thread over the pipe and screw on to the check valve connected directly onto the top section of the canister.

Probably would leak without them imo. You could try using hose clips but DO NOT over tighten them.

Just checked my 405 and the nuts are part of the check valve.Thats the part straight above the canister

If you go on your web link.. scroll down to 304,305 media and parts.... item Q on the drawing is what you are after I beleive.
