The Multiquip 46272 Flanged Nut 3/8"-16 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for BPX series backpack flex-shaft vibrators and WSHE-A series vibratory screeds. As a direct Multiquip OEM component, 46272 is manufactured to the exact thread specification and flange geometry required for proper clamping force and secure assembly on these machines. Verify your model against the BPX vibrator family and WSHE-A screed series before ordering to confirm fitment.
Key Features
- OEM Thread and Flange Spec: — Manufactured to the exact 3/8"-16 thread pitch and flange diameter specified by Multiquip, ensuring consistent clamping load and resistance to loosening under vibration.
- Drop-In Hardware Replacement: — Matches the original fastener profile for straightforward installation without rework to mating components or mounting surfaces.
- Broad Multiquip Fitment: — Confirmed for BPX backpack flex-shaft vibrators and WSHE-A series vibratory screeds, covering a wide range of jobsite concrete and finishing equipment.
- Vibration-Resistant Design: — The integrated flange distributes clamping force across a wider bearing surface, helping the fastener stay torqued and secure on equipment that operates under continuous vibration cycles.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing: — Supplied direct from Multiquip, so the part number, dimensions, and material grade match what was installed at the factory — no substitution or approximation.
A flanged nut combines a standard hex nut with a built-in washer-like flange at its base. This flange spreads the clamping load over a larger surface area than a plain nut, which helps prevent loosening and reduces the risk of surface damage on the mating component. On vibrating equipment such as flex-shaft backpack vibrators and truss screeds, standard fasteners are prone to backing out over time — the flanged design addresses this by improving grip and load distribution. A missing or worn flanged nut can lead to loose assemblies, misalignment of attached components, and accelerated wear on surrounding hardware.
