There are multiple uses for the 5/16-18 Hex Screw. It is often used with small gasoline-powered yard equipment such as lawn and garden machines. While hex screws such as these may be used in edgers and snowblowers, the most frequent use this screw is in yard tractors. This variety of screw is commonly used in attaching the various appendages of gas-powered equipment to a central operating platform. In particular, these hex screws are used to secure the engine block of power tools to the frame or housing of the equipment. Once in place, these fasteners have an almost unbreakable strength to them. This is so much so the case that often, in order to detach the engine manifold and repair the inner workings of an engine, the bolts must be chiseled or cut loose. In such cases, it is necessary for the bolts to be replaced during reassembly. Manufacturers insist that genuine OEM replacement parts be used in the rebuilding process. These replacement parts were manufactured to the same exacting specifications used to make the original screws. These OEM screws are compatible with equipment made and sold by Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Husky, MTD, Bolens, and Yard Machines.

This flange nut can be used as a replacement part for snowblowers, lawnmowers, and tillers. Flange nuts fasten materials to one another in conjunction with a bolt. A flange nut is different from a regular nut in that it features a protruded flange on its end that functionally serves as a washer, negating the need for a separate washer part. A flange nut might have to be replaced for several reasons, including the part going missing, which is a frequent occurrence as it is small and does not necessarily cause any immediate damage if it is lost. Additionally, a flange nut can be subject to damage over time through general wear and tear, overuse, punctures, piercings, scrapes, or erosion to the metal material. Such damage can hamper its ability to fasten materials together. If this is the case, a replacement flange nut should be ordered. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This flange nut is a genuine OEM Husqvarna part, sold individually. It compatible with the following outdoor appliance brands: Husqvarna, Poulan, and Craftsman.
