These nuts are manufactured from high tensile 8740 Chrome Moly steel.
They are rated to 180,000 psi tensile strength.
The 12-point head offers multiple wrench engagement points, making it easier to install and remove, especially in confined spaces compared to a standard 6-point head.
While robust, these nuts are specifically designed for high-stress and motorsport applications. For standard, everyday use, less specialized fasteners might be sufficient and more cost-effective.
The 1/4 Inch-28 nut in this pack requires a 5/16 inch socket for its 12-point head.
While they may thread onto other bolts, for optimal strength and performance, they are designed and recommended for use with ARP high tensile bolts.
Clean with a soft cloth and mild degreaser. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the black oxide finish.
Verify that the thread size and pitch of the nut match the bolt exactly. Ensure there is no damage to the bolt or nut threads. Clean both threads thoroughly.
Use a 12-point socket of the correct size (e.g., 5/16" for this specific nut). Ensure the socket is fully engaged on the nut head.
Do not use a damaged nut. Inspect for any signs of cracking, stripping, or deformation. Replace with a new nut.
Always refer to ARP's official torque charts or specifications for the specific bolt and nut combination being used. Using incorrect torque can lead to fastener failure.
Setup: Ensure the nut's thread size and pitch match the bolt precisely. ARP High Tensile Nuts are designed for use with compatible high-tensile bolts, preferably ARP brand, to achieve their rated strength. Always use the correct socket size for the 12-point head to avoid damage. Consult ARP's specifications for recommended torque values, as these are critical for high-stress applications. Do not overtighten beyond the recommended specifications.
Compatibility: These nuts are ideal for performance automotive applications, including racing, hot rods, and modified vehicles. They are compatible with ARP high-tensile bolts and other fasteners designed for similar high-stress environments. Always verify thread size and pitch (e.g., 1/4 Inch-28) and socket size (e.g., 5/16 Inch) against your specific application requirements.
Care: To maintain the finish and integrity of the nuts, clean them with a soft cloth and mild degreaser if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the black oxide finish. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Ensure they are free of debris before installation.
