Product Description Hillman Jam Nuts are thin, low-profile hex nuts made to lock a threaded connection in place. Fitting a M16-1.50 metric fine thread and standing shorter than a standard nut, a jam nut is run down against a second nut or a fitting and then tightened against it, so the two jam together and hold their position without backing off as the assembly is used or adjusted. The reduced height does two jobs. It lets the nut fit into shallow clearances where a full-height nut will not, and it provides just enough thread engagement to lock a setting without adding bulk. Six flats take a standard wrench, so the jam nut is set and held the same way as any hex nut. Made from steel with a protective zinc plating, the jam nut resists rust and corrosion for dependable indoor and light outdoor use. The plating keeps the threads clean and the locked joint secure over time, so a turnbuckle, valve stem, or adjustment stays exactly where it was set through handling and service. Use these jam nuts for locking turnbuckles, sensors, valve stems, and plumbing or threaded adjustments in place, and as a jam nut behind a standard nut. They pair with a matching bolt, rod, or fitting, and two jam nuts can also be locked together on their own. This 6-piece pack provides a ready supply for plumbing, setup, and repair projects around the home, shop, and job site. From the Manufacturer A jam nut is a low profile nut, half as tall as a standard nut. Used as a type of locknut where it is jammed up against a standard lock nut to lock the two in place. Also used where a standard nut would not fit. THIN NUT THAT LOCKS A JOINT: This jam nut is a low-profile hex nut, thinner than a standard nut, used to lock a position or jam against a second nut so a threaded connection holds its setting and does not turn or work loose over time. LOW PROFILE, SIX FLATS: Fitting a M16-1.50 metric fine thread, the reduced-height body slips into tight clearances and is run against a standard nut or a fitting, then jammed tight so the two lock together, with hex flats for a wrench. ZINC-PLATED STEEL: Made from steel with a protective zinc plating, the jam nut resists rust and corrosion for dependable indoor and light outdoor use, holding a firm locked position on threaded rod, fittings, and adjustments over time. PLUMBING AND ADJUSTMENT USE: Ideal for locking turnbuckles, sensors, valve stems, plumbing fittings, and threaded adjustments in place, and as a jam nut behind a standard nut, a handy low-profile nut for repair and setup work. TRUSTED HILLMAN QUALITY: Hillman supplies dependable fasteners and hardware that homeowners and pros rely on for everyday projects. Keep these nuts on hand for assembly, mounting, and repair jobs around the home and shop.
