Extruded U Nuts 1/4-20 Long by Hard-to-Find Fastener – 10 Piece Pack

Description

Product Overview

The 014973226411 Extruded U Nuts are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fastening applications. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, each nut features a fully threaded 1/4‑20 UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread that provides a secure, long‑lasting connection. A phosphate exterior finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance, ensuring the nuts maintain their structural integrity even in harsh environments. The black coating not only enhances durability but also offers a professional appearance suitable for visible installations.

These long‑style U nuts are designed with a hexagonal shape and a round head, allowing for easy installation with standard wrenches and pliers. The fully threaded design means the nut can be engaged at any point along its length, providing flexibility in assembly and repair work. With a cutting diameter of 0.25 inches and a total item weight of just 0.32 ounces per piece, they are lightweight yet robust, making them ideal for both high‑vibration machinery and static structural components.

Usage

These extruded U nuts excel in a variety of industrial settings, from automotive manufacturing lines to heavy‑duty equipment maintenance. Their long thread length allows for deep engagement in thick materials, making them perfect for securing brackets, panels, and housings where a strong, vibration‑resistant connection is essential. The phosphate finish protects against moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor installations, marine applications, and chemical processing plants.

Maintenance technicians appreciate the ease of removal and re‑installation, as the fully threaded design reduces the risk of cross‑threading and damage to mating components. The nuts are also suitable for use in electrical enclosures where a non‑conductive coating is beneficial, providing both mechanical strength and electrical safety. Whether you are assembling a new piece of equipment or performing a retrofit, these U nuts deliver consistent results.

FAQ

What is the difference between a standard U nut and a long U nut?

A long U nut has an extended thread length, allowing it to engage deeper into the material. This provides greater holding power and is ideal for thicker components or applications where extra thread engagement is required.

Can these nuts be used in outdoor or marine applications?

Yes. The phosphate coating offers excellent resistance to moisture, salt, and chemical exposure, making the nuts suitable for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments.

Do I need any special tools to install these nuts?

No special tools are required. The hexagonal shape and round head are compatible with standard wrenches, socket sets, and pliers, facilitating quick and easy installation.

Are these nuts compatible with stainless steel bolts?

Absolutely. The fully threaded 1/4‑20 UNC thread is a standard size that works with stainless steel, carbon steel, and other common bolt materials.
