Spring Type U Nut #8 25 Qty Speed Nut by AU VE CO Phosphate Finish

Description

Product Overview

The Spring Type U Nut #8 from AU VE CO is engineered for high‑performance fastening in demanding industrial environments. Packaged in a 25‑piece set, each nut measures a compact 1 × 1 × 1 inch and weighs just four ounces, making it easy to handle while still delivering robust strength. The fastener features a unified national coarse (UNC) thread with a left‑hand orientation, allowing it to engage quickly and securely when paired with compatible screws. Its phosphate exterior finish not only gives the nut a sleek black appearance but also provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the service life even in humid or chemically aggressive settings.

Designed as a speed nut, this component eliminates the need for additional washers or locking mechanisms, streamlining assembly processes and reducing overall part count. The “U” shape of the spring type design offers a built‑in spring action that maintains tension, preventing loosening under vibration or thermal cycling. This makes the nut especially suitable for applications where reliability and repeatability are critical, such as in machinery, electrical panels, and HVAC systems.

AU VE CO, a reputable manufacturer known for precision engineering, ensures each nut meets strict quality standards. The product carries the manufacturer part number 10065 and complies with industry specifications for thread class, coverage, and style. With a best‑seller rank of #14 in the Speed Nuts subcategory, this nut has earned the trust of professionals who demand consistency and durability.

Beyond its functional attributes, the Spring Type U Nut #8 offers versatility across a range of panel thicknesses, from 0.025 to 0.125 inch, making it adaptable to many mounting scenarios. Whether you are assembling a control panel, securing a conduit, or fastening a bracket, the nut’s design accommodates a broad spectrum of use cases while delivering a clean, professional finish.

Usage

In industrial settings, the Spring Type U Nut #8 excels when used to fasten components that require rapid installation and reliable retention. Electricians often rely on these nuts to secure conduit connectors and terminal blocks, benefiting from the left‑hand thread that prevents accidental loosening during routine maintenance. The phosphate coating protects the nut from oxidation, which is essential in outdoor or marine environments where exposure to salt spray is common.

Mechanics and technicians appreciate the nut’s ability to accommodate a variety of screw sizes, particularly the #8 screw size that is prevalent in automotive and equipment assembly. The spring‑type design provides a built‑in tension that compensates for minor misalignments, reducing the need for precise torque settings and minimizing the risk of over‑tightening. This feature is especially valuable in high‑vibration applications such as engine mounts, pump housings, and rotating equipment.

Maintenance crews benefit from the nut’s quick‑release capability, allowing for fast disassembly when servicing equipment. The compact dimensions enable storage in standard toolboxes, and the 25‑piece quantity ensures that spare parts are readily available for ongoing projects. Whether you are working on a large‑scale manufacturing line or a small‑scale repair job, the Spring Type U Nut #8 delivers consistent performance that supports productivity and safety.

FAQ

What is the advantage of a left‑hand thread on this nut?

A left‑hand thread tightens in the opposite direction of standard right‑hand threads, which can be beneficial in applications where the nut may be subject to forces that would otherwise loosen a conventional thread. This design helps maintain a secure connection under vibration or rotational loads.

Can the Spring Type U Nut be used with screw sizes other than #8?

While the nut is optimized for #8 screw size, its internal dimensions allow for a range of compatible screw diameters within the same thread class. For best results, we recommend using screws that match the specified thread size and pitch to ensure proper engagement.

Is the phosphate coating safe for use in food‑processing equipment?

The phosphate coating used on this nut is a standard industrial finish designed for corrosion resistance. It is not certified for direct contact with food products. For food‑grade applications, we advise selecting fasteners with an FDA‑approved coating or stainless‑steel construction.

How many nuts are included in the package and what are the dimensions?

The package contains 25 individual Spring Type U Nuts, each measuring 1 × 1 × 1 inch and weighing approximately four ounces. This quantity is ideal for bulk projects, providing enough units for multiple assemblies while keeping inventory manageable.

What warranty does AU VE CO offer for this product?

AU VE CO provides a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures. If you encounter any issues within this period, contact our support team with the product details, and we will arrange a replacement or provide technical assistance.
