Value Collection 330530BR Jam Nut 1-14 Unf Grade 2 Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 330530BR is a Grade 2 steel jam nut with a 1-14 UNF right-hand thread. Jam nuts are thin hex nuts used to lock a standard nut in place or to secure a fastener in applications where a full-height nut is not required. This nut measures 1.5 inches across the flats and 0.5469 inches in height, making it a low-profile locking solution. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light outdoor use. Typically installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople working on mechanical assemblies and structural connections.

This jam nut is suited for mechanical, industrial, and structural applications requiring a 1-14 unified fine thread fastener. It is commonly used in assemblies where a locknut is needed to prevent a mating nut or threaded component from loosening due to vibration or movement. The right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention. Grade 2 steel construction is appropriate for light to medium-duty clamping loads in non-critical applications.

Key Features

• 1-14 UNF right-hand thread for standard unified fine-thread compatibility
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose mechanical assemblies
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• Low-profile jam nut design at 0.5469 inches in height for space-constrained locking applications
• 1.5 inch width across flats accepts standard hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jam nut for use with any 1-14 UNF right-hand threaded fastener or assembly requiring a low-profile locking hex nut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or open-end wrench sized to 1.5 inches across the flats. Thread the jam nut onto the fastener and tighten it against the mating nut or surface to create a locking effect. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and joint specifications.
