Product Description
The AN310-5 is a steel castle nut with a 5/16-24 UNF thread for aircraft fastener applications. This nut features castellations (notches) that align with a drilled bolt shank to accept a cotter pin, providing positive mechanical retention. Commonly used to secure control-system linkage bolts and other critical connections where fastener lockout is required.
Installation involves torquing to specification per FAA AC 43.13-1B, then aligning the castellations with the bolt's cotter-pin hole and inserting the pin to prevent rotation. Standard in general aviation and MRO maintenance.
