Value Collection 3/8-16 AJ6MC Brass Hex Jam Nut Nickel Plated 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3/8-16 AJ6MC is a brass self sealing hex jam nut with a nickel plated finish, designed for use in threaded fastener applications where a low-profile locking nut with an integral seal is required. Measuring 9/16 inches wide and 7/32 inches high, this nut features a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread and incorporates a silicone O-ring with a 1/64-inch seal thickness to provide resistance against fluid or gas leakage at the joint. It is a compact fastener suited for plumbing, mechanical, and fluid system assemblies where thread sealing and vibration resistance are priorities. Sold in a package of 5.

This jam nut is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a thin, self sealing threaded fastener is needed. Typical use cases include hydraulic fittings, pneumatic assemblies, fluid line connections, and general mechanical fastening where the low profile of a jam nut is an advantage over a full hex nut. The silicone O-ring provides an internal seal at the thread engagement point, reducing the need for additional thread sealant tape or compound in many installations.

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series fastener applications
• Silicone O-ring seal with 1/64-inch seal thickness provides leak resistance at the threaded joint
• Brass construction with nickel plating for corrosion resistance and durability
• Low-profile hex jam nut geometry at 9/16 inches wide and 7/32 inches high suits space-restricted assemblies
• Package of 5 nuts per unit, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC self sealing hex jam nut suitable for use in threaded assemblies requiring an O-ring sealed, low-profile locking nut in brass with nickel plating.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or mechanical technician depending on the application. Ensure the mating threaded component is clean and free of debris before engagement. The integrated silicone O-ring should be inspected prior to installation to confirm it is seated properly and undamaged. Torque to the assembly specification of the host system; do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage the O-ring and compromise the seal.
