Value Collection 32281 Hex Jam Nut 1/4-28 Unf Zinc-plated 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32281 is a 1/4-28 UNF right-hand hex jam nut made from steel with a zinc-plated finish. Jam nuts are thin-profile nuts used to lock a standard nut in place or to secure an adjustment on a threaded rod, stud, or shaft end. At 7/16 inches across the flats and 0.1563 inches in height, this nut fits standard 1/4-28 UNF threaded fastener assemblies. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications. Sold in packages of 50, this item suits trade shops, maintenance crews, and contractors who need reliable fastener stock on hand.

This hex jam nut is used wherever a locking or adjustment nut is required on a 1/4-28 UNF threaded fastener. Common applications include HVAC equipment assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of threaded fastener applications. The 50-count package format supports shop stocking and service van inventory.

De-energize or shut down any equipment before servicing fastener assemblies on live systems. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant trade codes for fastener torque and assembly requirements.
