Value Collection R63482882 Serrated Flange Nut 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63482882 is a serrated flange nut in a 10-32 thread size, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The integrated serrated flange distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface and bites into the mating material to resist loosening from vibration. The flange diameter measures 0.500 inches maximum and the overall nut height reaches 0.219 inches maximum. This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades wherever a self-locking, load-spreading nut is required on a standard inch-thread assembly.

Serrated flange nuts in 10-32 thread are commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and mechanical brackets. The serrations engage the workpiece surface during torquing, eliminating the need for a separate lock washer in most applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this nut suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for standard inch-system compatibility
• Integrated serrated flange eliminates need for a separate lock washer
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Flange bearing surface spans up to 0.500 inches to distribute clamping load
• Width across flats up to 0.375 inches for standard socket or wrench drive

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or upgrade serrated flange nut for any 10-32 inch-thread fastener application requiring an integrated locking flange.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard socket, nut driver, or open-end wrench sized to the 0.375-inch maximum width across flats. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before installing fasteners inside live panels or enclosures, following applicable NEC requirements. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the nut to achieve full serration engagement. Do not reuse the nut if the serrations show visible wear or deformation, as locking effectiveness will be reduced.
