Lines using PTFE gaskets that are subject to large temperature swings can benefit from this special product. As the PTFE is compressed through the cycling of the lines, the spring load will help keep the connection from leaking. If the lines suffer from vibration and bolted clamps are not an option, refitting single pin clamps with this nut will keep the connections from leaking for a longer time than the standard wing nuts. If you transport material in tanks via truck, the vibrations can loosen the standard single pin clamps. Spring loaded nuts can add a level of insurance to the shipment
Note: Spring nut ONLY; does not include clamp
