Dixon® Spring Loaded Nut, Connection Size 1: 5/16 in, Thread Size 1: 5/16-18, 304 Stainless Steel, Dimensions: 1.73 in L x 7/8 in W, For Use With: Wing Nut Style Clamps
Lines using PTFE gaskets that are subject to large temperature swings can benefit from this special product
If the lines suffer from vibration and bolted clamps are not an option, refitting single pin clamps with this nut will keep the connections from leaking for a longer time than the standard wing nuts
If you transport material in tanks via truck, the vibrations can loosen the standard single pin clamps
Can be used on all wing nut style clamps
As the PTFE is compressed through the cycling of the lines, the spring load will help keep the connection from leaking
Spring-loaded nuts can add a level of insurance to the shipment
