Value Collection 46996 Hex Flange Lock Nut 3/4-16 Grade G

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 46996 is a 3/4-16 Grade G steel hex flange lock nut with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. The integrated flange distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, reducing the need for a separate washer. The serrated flange face bites into the mating surface to resist loosening under vibration. Grade G designates medium-carbon steel with mechanical properties suited for demanding fastener applications. This nut is installed by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on equipment assemblies, machinery, and structural connections that require secure, vibration-resistant fastening.

The 46996 is suited for use in industrial maintenance, equipment assembly, and mechanical service applications where a 3/4-16 UNF thread is specified. The fine thread pitch provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it appropriate for high-load or precision-fit applications. The zinc yellow dichromate finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general shop and field use.

Key Features

• 3/4-16 UNF thread for fine-pitch, high-load engagement
• Grade G medium-carbon steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Integrated hex flange eliminates the need for a separate flat washer
• Serrated flange face resists loosening under vibration
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for baseline corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or service fastener for any assembly requiring a 3/4-16 UNF hex flange lock nut with Grade G mechanical properties.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics or maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/4 hex flange nut. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not reuse lock nuts that have been removed from service, as serration effectiveness diminishes after the first torque cycle. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the specific joint application.
