Part number 138-017 is a Coupling Nut specifically engineered for the Commander and Admiral series professional spray systems. These industrial-grade units are designed for demanding coating applications requiring reliable, high-pressure fluid delivery for commercial and industrial finishing. A coupling nut is a specialized fastener with internal threads running its entire length, used to join two male threaded rods or studs together. This creates a longer continuous threaded assembly or connects components that cannot be joined by a standard nut and bolt arrangement.
Manufactured from high-strength materials with precision-cut internal threads, this coupling nut provides reliable connections under high loads and vibration. The threads are engineered to exact specifications to ensure proper engagement with mating threaded rods. The nut may have a hexagonal exterior for wrench engagement, allowing for easy installation and tightening. Proper torque is essential to ensure the connection is secure and can withstand the forces encountered during operation.
This coupling nut is subjected to tensile loads, vibration, and potential corrosion. Failure modes include thread damage from over-torquing or cross-threading, corrosion weakening the nut, and fatigue cracking. A damaged or missing coupling nut can allow connected components to separate, leading to equipment failure. Replacement with genuine 138-017 coupling nut ensures proper connections and maintains the structural integrity of Commander and Admiral spray systems.
| Rod Connection | Joins two threaded rods or studs together |
|---|---|
| Length Extension | Creates longer continuous threaded assemblies |
| Component Joining | Connects components where standard nuts won't work |
| Thread Damage | Internal threads are stripped, crossed, or corroded |
|---|---|
| Hex Wear | Wrench flats are rounded, preventing proper torquing |
| Corrosion | Rust or chemical attack has weakened the nut |
| Missing | Nut lost during disassembly or operation |
