Product Details

Features

  • Tri-bar wing design for easy hand-tightening without tools
  • Zinc alloy construction — lighter than steel hardware
  • 1/4"-20 thread — confirm your stud matches before ordering
  • Hand-tighten only — not rated for high-torque applications

Description

This chrome mini tri-bar air-cleaner nut uses a 1/4"-20 thread for mounting air-cleaner assemblies. The tri-bar wing design allows hand-tightening without tools, convenient for routine filter service or air-cleaner removal.

Zinc alloy construction is lighter than steel hardware, and is suited for hand-tightening rather than high-torque applications — this is a material tradeoff to be aware of, not a defect. Chrome finish provides a clean engine-bay appearance. Confirm your air-cleaner stud uses 1/4"-20 threads before ordering, since some assemblies use different thread sizes.

Commonly purchased as a replacement or spare mounting nut for standard round or oval air-cleaner kits, or for custom intake-system builds using a 1/4"-20 stud.

Q&A

Can I use a wrench or tool to tighten this nut?
No. This zinc alloy air cleaner nut is designed for hand-tightening only. Using a wrench or other tools to overtighten it may damage the nut.

How do I know if my air-cleaner stud uses 1/4"-20 threads?
Check the diameter and thread pitch of your existing air cleaner stud, or refer to your air cleaner assembly's specifications to verify it uses 1/4"-20 threads.

What's the difference between this and the steel spinner nuts?
This nut is made from zinc alloy, making it lighter than the steel spinner nuts in the product line. It is intended for hand-tightening only and is not designed for high-torque applications.

What's a "tri-bar" design?
A tri-bar nut features three wings that provide a comfortable grip for quick hand installation and removal without the need for tools.

What's this nut typically used for?
This nut is commonly used as a replacement or spare air cleaner mounting nut for round and oval air cleaner assemblies, as well as custom intake system builds using a 1/4"-20 threaded stud.
