Value Collection 32288 Hex Jam Nut 3/4-16 Unf Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32288 is a 3/4-16 UNF hex jam nut designed for right-hand threaded fastening applications. Made from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this nut measures 1-1/8 inches across flats and 0.4219 inches in height. Its low-profile jam nut design is used to lock a standard nut in place on a threaded rod, bolt, or stud, preventing loosening under vibration or dynamic load. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors encounter this type of fastener in equipment mounting, pipe supports, panel assemblies, and general mechanical installations.

This jam nut is suited for use in residential and light commercial trade applications wherever a 3/4-16 UNF right-hand threaded locking fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include securing threaded rods, locking adjustment hardware, and anchoring components to threaded assemblies in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, and plumbing support structures. Sold in packages of 25, the 32288 is a practical stocking fastener for service vans and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for 1-1/8 inches across flats. Thread the jam nut onto the fastener and tighten it against the mating nut using two wrenches to lock both in place. Verify thread engagement is adequate before applying final torque. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific assembly being serviced.
