Pentair 1/4"-20 Stainless Steel Hex Head Nut

The Pentair 1/4"-20 Stainless Steel Hex Head Nut (part number 071406Z) is a highly durable fastening component used extensively across a wide variety of pool and spa equipment, including Pentair IntelliFlo and WhisperFlo high-performance pumps, SM and SMBW series filters, and UltraTemp heat pumps. Fabricated from premium 18-8 grade stainless steel, this commercial-grade nut features standard 1/4-inch internal threading with a coarse 20 threads-per-inch pitch, meticulously engineered to resist corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation in harsh, moisture-rich pool environments. It works in tandem with matching hex bolts to maintain rigid structural seals on critical high-pressure areas like pump seal plates, volutes, and heater hardware assemblies. Because it is a small, precision-engineered hardware fastener, this individual hex nut is incredibly light, weighing a mere 0.01 pounds (approximately 0.16 ounces), making it an effortless yet essential component for structurally securing heavy-duty filtration machinery.
