Value Collection 10-32 AJ6MC Brass Hex Jam Nut Pack of 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10-32 AJ6MC is a brass self-sealing hex jam nut designed for 10-32 UNF right-hand threaded fastener applications. The nut measures 3/8 inches wide and 7/32 inches high, with a nickel-plated finish for added corrosion resistance. A silicone O-ring with a 1/64-inch seal thickness is integrated into the nut to provide in-line sealing without a separate gasket component. This hardware is typically installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors where a low-profile locking nut with sealing capability is required on threaded fittings, panel knockouts, or instrument connections. Sold in a quantity of 5 per package.

This hex jam nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 10-32 UNF thread engagement is specified. Common install scenarios include control panel assemblies, conduit fittings, instrumentation ports, and small-diameter threaded connections requiring a flush, sealed lock nut. The nickel plating makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture or chemical exposure. Its low-profile hex geometry allows installation in tight spaces where standard full-height nuts would not seat properly.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF right-hand thread for standard instrument and panel fastener applications
• Integrated silicone O-ring provides in-place sealing without additional hardware
• Nickel-plated brass construction offers corrosion resistance over base material
• Low-profile jam nut height of 7/32 inches suits tight-clearance installations
• 1/64-inch seal thickness O-ring for consistent compression sealing
• Packaged in quantities of 5 to support multi-point installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 10-32 UNF threaded fastener applications in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical assemblies requiring a self-sealing hex jam nut.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with threaded fastener torque requirements for brass hardware. De-energize or depressurize the assembly before removing or replacing jam nuts on live panels or pressurized fittings. Use a properly sized hex wrench or open-end wrench matching the 3/8-inch hex flat to avoid rounding the nut. Do not overtighten, as brass is a softer material and excess torque can deform the O-ring seat or thread engagement.
