Nut, 3/8-16 703333

This flange nut is designed for use in lawn and garden equipment. It is an OEM replacement part with a diameter of 0.375 inches and a thread pitch of 16 threads per inch. The nut has a ring-shaped extension on one end, known as a flange which helps to evenly distribute the clamping force of the nut and provide a more secure hold. Additionally, the flange eliminates the need for separate washers and reduces the risk of abrasion on the surface being fastened. It is normal for the nut to corrode, crack, or for the threads to wear down over time. To replace the flange nut, unthread it from the fastener, and insert and secure the new one using a socket/wrench. Each sold individually.
