Dorman 247-014 is a steel torque nut built for secure fastening in automotive service and hardware applications. With a 1/2-20 fine thread, Grade 8 construction, and zinc-plated finish, it supports demanding jobs where strength, thread retention, and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• Steel construction with a zinc-plated natural finish
• Grade 8, heat-hardened nut for added strength
• 1/2-20 fine thread with right-hand thread direction
• Conical seat design for proper torque application
• Locking nut design helps maintain clamping force
• SAE thread size and FQA compliant
• Fits applications calling for 1/2-20-7/16 callout size

Detailed Description

This Dorman torque nut is engineered for automotive fastening points that require a durable, corrosion-tested steel nut with fine-thread engagement. The zinc-plated finish helps resist surface corrosion, while the heat-hardened Grade 8 build supports strength in service. Use Dorman 247-014 when you need a right-hand, 1/2-20 nut with a conical seat and locking function for secure assembly. It is a practical choice for repair work on vehicles such as Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 applications where SAE hardware specifications are required. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing worn or damaged fine-thread torque nuts
• Restoring proper clamp load at threaded fasteners
• Addressing corrosion on exposed steel hardware
• Correcting loose or stripped nut engagement
• Supporting service work on Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 hardware points

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm thread diameter, pitch, seat type, and thread direction before installation. Match the 1/2-20 fine thread and conical seat to the original hardware specification, and inspect the mating stud or bolt for wear, galling, or corrosion. Use proper torque procedures for the application and verify that the locking feature seats fully during tightening. Dorman 247-014 is also a good reference part number when sourcing replacement hardware for Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 service jobs.
