Holo-krome 07046 Allen Nut 7/8-14 Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 07046 is an uncoated steel Allen nut with a 7/8-14 inch thread size. Allen nuts, also called socket nuts or cap nuts, are tightened and loosened using a hex key rather than a standard wrench, making them useful in confined spaces where a wrench cannot reach. This nut is made from steel and ships without any surface coating. It is a standard fastener used by millwrights, pipefitters, machinists, and general tradespeople across a wide range of mechanical assembly and maintenance applications.

This nut is suited for bolted connections that require a flush or recessed drive interface. The 7/8-14 fine thread designation indicates a 7/8 inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch, which is typical in applications requiring precise load control and resistance to vibration loosening. It is commonly found in industrial equipment assembly, mechanical systems, and service work where fine-thread fasteners are specified.

Key Features

• 7/8-14 fine thread provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, improving vibration resistance
• Hex key drive allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations
• Uncoated steel construction suited for dry or indoor mechanical environments
• 7/8 inch hex key size matches the nominal thread diameter for straightforward tooling selection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard service fastener for mechanical assemblies specifying a 7/8-14 fine-thread Allen nut in uncoated steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Apply thread lubricant or thread-locking compound only when specified by the equipment manufacturer. Do not substitute a coarse-thread nut in a fine-thread application.
