Yamada 706144 Shaft Nut, M16 x 1.50 Stainless for NDP-80
The Yamada 706144 is a factory shaft nut, m16 x 1.50 stainless used in NDP-80 Series pumps. Fasteners in an air operated double diaphragm pump work for their living - the whole assembly is held together by clamping load, and that load has to stay even as the pump cycles.
Fasteners in a pump like this are replaced for three reasons: corrosion has taken the head or the thread, the thread has been stretched by overtightening, or one has simply gone missing during a previous strip down. Any of them leaves the joint clamping unevenly, and an uneven clamp around a diaphragm bead or a manifold face is what turns a sealed joint into a weeping one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I use thread lubricant?
An anti seize compound on the threads is normal practice on this kind of assembly, particularly in marine service where it is what allows the joint to be opened again.
Q: What happens if one is left loose?
The clamping load is uneven, the joint weeps at that point, and the remaining fasteners carry more cyclic load than they were meant to.
Q: Can I use a standard bolt from a hardware store?
It is not advisable. Grade, length and thread are chosen for the joint, and a substitute that stretches or bottoms out changes the clamping load on a face that is sealed by an elastomer bead.
Q: Why did the original corrode so badly?
Salt air and washdown get into the threads and stay there. On marine installations the fasteners are usually the first part of the pump to need attention, well before anything internal.
