Value Collection JNI5025LH-100BX Hex Nut 1/4-20 Left Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JNI5025LH-100BX is a 1/4-20 hex nut with left-hand thread, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright uncoated finish. It measures 7/16 inches across the flats and 5/32 inches in height, conforming to UNC thread standards. This nut is used wherever a left-hand thread fastener is required to prevent loosening under rotational forces that would back out a standard right-hand nut. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical contractors install these in applications where counter-rotation or specialized fastening configurations are specified.

Left-hand thread hex nuts are commonly used in mechanical assemblies, rotating equipment, and specialty fabrication applications where right-hand threads would loosen under operational torque. This nut is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, with each package containing 1 unit. Grade 2 steel provides adequate tensile strength for light to medium fastening duties in non-critical structural applications.

Key Features

• Left-hand UNC thread prevents loosening in counter-rotating assemblies
• 1/4-20 thread size with 7/16 inch across-flats dimension for standard hex tooling
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light to medium duty applications
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to affect thread fit
• 5/32 inch nut height conforms to standard hex nut profile
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk fastener stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-20 left-hand thread fasteners and threaded rod in UNC thread form applications requiring reverse-thread engagement.

Installation Notes

Left-hand thread fasteners tighten counter-clockwise and loosen clockwise — opposite of standard hardware. Verify thread direction before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping. A standard 7/16 inch hex wrench or socket is used for installation and removal. Do not mix left-hand and right-hand threaded fasteners in the same assembly without engineering review.
