Product Details
Suspension Hardware / U-Bolt Fastening System
9/16"-18 Serrated Hex Flange Nut — Black Finish — 7/8" Hex (FPN916L)
Fine-thread serrated flange nut engineered for U-bolt clamping applications. Provides vibration resistance, consistent preload, and washer-free installation for trailer suspension systems.
Part Number: FPN916L Fits UB-R303 & Similar 9/16"-18 U-Bolts
Overview
The FPN916L is a 9/16"-18 UNF serrated hex flange nut designed for high-load clamping in trailer suspension assemblies. The integrated serrated flange eliminates the need for a washer while providing locking resistance against vibration, making it ideal for U-bolt applications such as spring seats, axle mounts, and tie plates.
R&P Service Insight
In real-world trailer service, flange nuts like this are critical for maintaining clamp load across leaf spring packs and axle seats.
- Serration Advantage: Bites into mating surface to resist loosening under vibration.
- No Washer Required: Built-in flange distributes load evenly across tie plates.
- Fine Thread Control: 9/16"-18 thread allows more precise torque application and stronger clamping force.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for 9/16"-18 UNF threaded fasteners including UB-R303 U-bolts and similar suspension hardware.
Vehicle / System Fit: Common in trailer axle mounting systems, leaf spring suspensions, and heavy-duty tie plate assemblies.
Installation Notes: Serrated flange must seat directly against clean metal surface. Do not reuse heavily worn or flattened serrated nuts.
Performance Insight: Fine-thread fasteners provide higher clamp load with less torque variation, while serrations prevent loosening under cyclic load.
R&P Repair Insight
When replacing U-bolt hardware, the nut is just as critical as the bolt. Reusing old nuts can lead to clamp loss and premature suspension wear.
- Thread Match: Confirm 9/16"-18 fine thread—coarse thread nuts will not engage correctly.
- Serration Condition: Replace if serrations are worn or flattened.
- Torque Retention: Always recheck torque after initial road use on new installs.
