Speed Nut Hillman 1148 Type U #10-24 Small Black Alloy Steel 12-Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Hillman 1148 Type “U” Speed Nut is engineered to deliver reliable fastening performance in a compact form factor. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, this nut offers exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile, weighing just 0.01 ounces per piece. Its plain black finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. The rectangular shape with a flat head design allows for easy installation and a low profile appearance, making it suitable for projects where space is at a premium.

Measuring 2.5 x 1.3 x 1.6 inches, the nut is sized for #10‑24 Unified National threads, a common specification in electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment. The fully threaded interior guarantees a secure grip on the screw, while the integrated lock‑washer function prevents loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion. This dual‑function design eliminates the need for separate washers, reducing inventory complexity and simplifying assembly processes.

Each package contains twelve individual speed nuts, providing a convenient quantity for small‑scale production runs, prototyping, or repair kits. The product is manufactured by The Hillman Group, a trusted name in fasteners, and carries the UPC 008236006636 for easy tracking and inventory management. Whether you are a professional mechanic, an electronics hobbyist, or a DIY enthusiast, the Hillman Speed Nut delivers the performance and convenience required for a wide range of fastening tasks.

Usage

These speed nuts excel in applications where rapid assembly and secure fastening are essential. In automotive repair, they are frequently used to secure brackets, sensor housings, and interior trim components that require a tight, vibration‑resistant connection. Their small size and low profile make them ideal for mounting circuit boards, connectors, and enclosures in electronic devices, where space constraints demand a compact solution.

Industrial settings benefit from the reusable nature of the Hillman speed nut, allowing technicians to disassemble and reassemble equipment without compromising the integrity of the fastener. The alloy steel construction tolerates repeated tightening cycles, making it suitable for maintenance tasks on machinery, HVAC systems, and pneumatic equipment. Additionally, the black finish blends seamlessly with dark‑colored components, providing an aesthetic advantage in visible installations.

For DIY projects, the speed nut simplifies the process of attaching hardware to wood, plastic, or metal substrates. Its integrated lock‑washer function reduces the number of parts needed, speeding up construction of furniture, outdoor gear, and custom fixtures. The nut’s compatibility with standard #10‑24 screws means it can be paired with a wide variety of fasteners already present in most toolboxes, eliminating the need for specialized tools.

FAQ

What thread size does the Hillman 1148 Speed Nut fit?

The nut is designed for #10‑24 Unified National threads, which is a standard size used in many electronic, automotive, and industrial applications.

Can the speed nut be used with stainless steel screws?

Yes, the nut can be paired with stainless steel screws as long as the screw follows the #10‑24 thread specification. The alloy steel material of the nut provides sufficient strength to secure stainless steel fasteners.

Is the black finish purely cosmetic, or does it offer protection?

The plain black finish serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. It helps conceal the fastener in dark‑colored assemblies and provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor environments.

How many times can the speed nut be reused?

Because the nut is made from heat‑treated alloy steel, it can be tightened and loosened multiple times without significant wear. While exact reuse cycles depend on the specific application and torque applied, it is generally suitable for repeated assembly tasks.
