Checkpoint Loose Wheel Nut Indicators, 38mm
INCLUDED: Choose a pack of 10, 72 or 100 Checkpoint loose wheel nut indicators in yellow or red. Select your color and pack size above.
A loose wheel nut indicator gives drivers and inspectors an instant visual check on wheel-end fasteners. If a lug nut moves, the indicator no longer points at its mate, and per TIA and TMC recommended practices the nut and stud should be inspected.
Key Features
- Nut size: 38mm hex nut
- Material: Durable plastic
- Overall length: 2-1/4"
- Designed to melt: melts at 125°C (257°F), which can point to excess heat at the wheel end, such as wheel bearing failure
- Point-to-point design: installed on each wheel nut with each pair pointing at each other, with twice the teeth for a secure fit
- Easy to install: slides on and stays on
- Colors: yellow and red
Suggested use: Use all one color on a wheel. When a nut is tightened, replace its indicator with a different color so the recently tightened nut is easy to spot. Need a different size? See the 33mm indicators, all wheel nut indicators, or call 833.LIFT.TOW (833.543.8869).
Frequently Asked Questions
Which wheel nuts does this indicator fit?
This listing is for 38mm hex nuts. For 33mm nuts choose the 33mm indicator, and for 30 to 38mm nuts see Ken-Tool Hexchex. Each product page lists its size.
Why are there two colors?
Using one color on a wheel and a different color on a nut you have just tightened makes the tightened nut easy to see during inspection.
Can an indicator show heat as well as a loose nut?
Yes. These indicators are designed to melt at 125°C (257°F), which can be an early sign of excess heat at the wheel end.
