The BSM Union Slotted Nut is a precision-engineered union fastening component designed to secure and complete BSM union assemblies in hygienic and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this slotted nut delivers reliable clamping performance, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability, making it a dependable fastening solution for food processing, pharmaceutical, dairy, beverage, and other process industry piping applications.
As clearly visible in the product image, the slotted nut presents a low-profile, wide-diameter ring form with a large internally threaded central bore. The exterior circumference of the nut features a series of evenly spaced slots or notches machined into the outer edge of the body, which are a defining characteristic of the slotted nut design. These slots provide engagement points for a corresponding spanner wrench or pin tool, allowing the nut to be tightened and loosened in a controlled manner during assembly and disassembly of the union. The slotted engagement profile is particularly well-suited to hygienic environments where smooth, cleanable surfaces are essential, as it avoids the protruding hex flats associated with standard hex nut designs while still providing reliable tooling engagement. The bright, smooth surface finish visible across the fitting is consistent with the high-quality surface properties of 316-grade stainless steel.
The wide, flat ring profile of the slotted nut provides a broad bearing surface that distributes clamping load evenly across the union joint faces, supporting consistent sealing compression and reliable leak-free performance across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles.
The BSM Union Slotted Nut is available in three sizes: 51mm, 63mm, and 76mm, providing compatibility with the corresponding range of BSM union components and standard pipe diameters in those sizes used across hygienic and industrial piping installations.
316-grade stainless steel ensures superior resistance to corrosion, pitting, and chemical exposure, supporting reliable long-term performance in demanding process environments.
