Value Collection V70006PR 1/4-20 Jam Nut 316 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION V70006PR is a 1/4-20 UNC jam nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Jam nuts are thin hex nuts used to lock a standard nut in place or to secure a threaded fastener where stack height is limited. At 5/32 inch tall and 7/16 inch across the flats, this nut fits standard 1/4-20 unified coarse thread fasteners. The right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, making it a sound choice for marine, chemical, food-service, and outdoor applications. Installation requires a 7/16 inch wrench or socket.

This jam nut is suited for light industrial, marine, plumbing, HVAC, and pool equipment applications where corrosion resistance is required and thread stack height must be minimized. It is commonly used as a locknut against a primary nut, as a thin spacer nut on threaded rod, or to secure fittings and hardware in corrosive or wet environments. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common thread standards in North American trade applications. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard North American fasteners
• Jam nut profile at 5/32 inch height reduces thread stack height in tight assemblies
• 7/16 inch across flats — fits standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with thread fit or torque

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener, stud, or threaded rod requiring a jam or locking nut in corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic, plumber, or HVAC technician can install this nut using a standard 7/16 inch open-end wrench or socket. De-energize or isolate the assembly before working on fastened components where applicable. Thread the nut onto the bolt or stud by hand first to confirm thread engagement before applying wrench torque. When used as a jam nut, snug the primary nut to position first, then tighten the jam nut against it to lock.
