The 5/8" hex nut for tap connectors, threaded connectors, or tap connectors is an important connecting element in beverage technology and is frequently used in the catering industry as well as in the brewing and beverage industry. Here are the detailed properties and features of this nut:

Material

The hex nut is made of brass, an alloy material consisting mainly of copper and zinc. Brass is known for its excellent corrosion protection properties, especially in humid environments, making it an ideal choice for applications involving liquids. In addition, brass has good strength and is relatively easy to machine.

Dimensions

Size: The nut has a size of 5/8", which corresponds to a diameter of approximately 15.875 mm. This size is standardised and allows use with corresponding threaded connectors or tap connectors.
Hexagonal shape: The hexagonal shape of the nut allows for easy handling with a wrench or pliers. This makes it easier to tighten or loosen the nut during installation or maintenance.

Application

The hexagon nut is used to securely connect various components such as tap handles, threaded connectors, or tap connectors. It serves as a lock nut, ensuring that the connection remains stable and does not loosen. In applications where pressure is exerted on the connections (e.g., beverage dispensing systems), it is particularly important that the nut is tight.

Properties

Corrosion resistance: Brass offers good resistance to corrosion from water and other liquids, which increases the service life of the connection.
Strength: The mechanical properties of brass ensure that the nut remains stable even under pressure.
Easy installation: Thanks to its shape, the hex nut is easy to install and remove.
