FAQ

What material is the Plastic Grip Nut CGA-320 made from?

The nut is fabricated from a high‑grade engineering plastic that provides excellent strength, resistance to moisture, and durability in most industrial environments.

Can the CGA-320 be used in high‑temperature applications?

While the polymer is designed for typical ambient and moderate temperature conditions, it is not recommended for continuous exposure above 120°C (248°F). For extreme heat, a metal‑based fastener would be more appropriate.

Is the nut compatible with standard metric and imperial threads?

Yes, the CGA‑320 is supplied with standard thread dimensions that match both metric and U.S. customary specifications, making it suitable for a broad range of fastening scenarios.

How do I ensure proper torque when installing the nut?

Because the nut features an ergonomic grip, you can achieve accurate torque using a standard wrench or by hand. For critical applications, refer to the manufacturer’s torque chart and use a calibrated torque wrench.
