Dexter Cone Nut, 90 Degree, 9/16-18 Thread, Grade 5, Zinc Plated, for Boat Trailer Brakes

This Dexter cone nut (part number 006-060-00) is a 90 degree cone-style fastener designed for boat trailer brake assemblies. The 90 degree cone seat allows the nut to self-center and seat securely against the mating component, a design commonly used where standard flat-face hex nuts are not suitable for the assembly. It is machined with a 9/16-18 thread and built to Grade 5 strength, giving it the load-bearing capacity expected of a structural fastener in a trailer brake system. The nut is finished with a zinc plating, which provides a protective barrier against corrosion, an important feature for hardware used in and around boat trailers that are regularly exposed to water, road spray, and launch-ramp conditions.

At 0.1 pounds, this is a small, lightweight component intended to be used as part of a larger boat trailer brake assembly rather than as a standalone part. It is categorized within boat trailer brake hardware and is sold under the Dexter brand.
