Value Collection R63482680 Serrated Flange Nut 8-32 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63482680 is a serrated flange nut in 8-32 unified coarse thread, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The integrated serrated flange distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface while the serrations bite into the mating material to resist loosening under vibration. The flange diameter measures 0.469 inches and the overall height is 0.203 inches. This fastener is sized for light mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and vibration-locking performance are both required. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC sheet-metal technicians, and electricians working with small-gauge fasteners commonly specify this nut type for panel and equipment enclosure work.

This nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where an 8-32 threaded stud or machine screw requires a self-locking flange nut without a separate washer. Typical install scenarios include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, fan assemblies, and light-duty structural brackets. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor environments with moderate moisture exposure or where carbon steel corrosion is a concern.

Key Features

• Serrated flange provides vibration resistance without a separate lock washer
• Wide 0.469-inch flange distributes clamping load over a larger bearing surface
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moist or chemically mild environments
• 8-32 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard 8-32 machine screws and studs
• Low-profile design at 0.203 inches overall height suits tight clearance installations
• Width across flats of 0.334 to 0.344 inches fits standard 11/32-inch drive tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 unified coarse thread serrated flange nut suitable for use with any 8-32 machine screw or threaded stud requiring a flange-style locking nut in an inch-measurement fastener system.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 11/32-inch hex driver, nutdriver, or open-end wrench. Ensure the serrated face seats fully against the workpiece surface so the serrations engage properly and provide the intended locking action. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC requirements before installing or removing fasteners inside energized enclosures. Do not reuse a serrated flange nut in a safety-critical joint once the serrations have been compressed, as locking effectiveness may be reduced.
