Value Collection JNI20250-050B 1/4-20 Hex Jam Nut Grade 2 Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JNI20250-050B is a 1/4-20 UNC hex jam nut made from Grade 2 steel with a clear zinc finish. Jam nuts are thin hex nuts used to lock a standard nut in place or to secure a threaded rod or fitting where vertical clearance is limited. This nut features right-hand threading and measures 7/16 inches across the flats with a height of 0.1563 inches. The clear zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package.

This jam nut is appropriate for a wide range of mechanical assembly, plumbing support, HVAC equipment mounting, and electrical enclosure applications where a low-profile locking nut is required. Its 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common fastener standards in trade work, making it a practical stocking item for contractors and maintenance technicians across multiple trades.
