Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this 1/2 inch by 20 size chrome trailer wheel lug nut. Now this is a single 1/2 inch by 20 size wheel lug nut and this is a chrome plated steel construction. Now this lug nut is the most common size lug nut size that's used on the small to medium size trailers that have eight inch up to 15 inch size wheels. And some 16 inch size wheels will still use the 1/2 inch size. And when we say 1/2 inch size what we're meaning is the diameter of the size bolt that this will thread onto.
And then the 20 is means how many threads per inch there are. And usually on the lug nuts you'll see that they do stamp the 1/2 inch under, let's you know what size it is. And I did happen to pull one of the bolts that this would screw onto. So you can see this just goes right on there, tighten it down, torque it to your specs. Now also if you notice on this lug nut, they do use a 60 degree taper and that taper will match the taper on your steel or aluminum wheels.
So when you use this lug nut with all the other lug nuts on the wheel, it allows you to center that wheel onto your wheel hub because it'll taper onto the taper of the wheel and center it. Now the height from this lug nut is gonna be 1 3/8 inches tall. The hex head size or the socket size you would use on this is gonna be 13/16 of an inch. And just to give you an idea, I happened to pull here's a 13/16 size socket and you can see how it fits right onto that 1/2 inch by 20 size lug nut. Also, what's nice about this being a longer lug nut, it provides a better grip when you're tightening or loosening your lugs because of that taller height.
Your normal factory lug nuts I happen to have one here to show you. There's your factory lug nuts that you'll see on your normal trailers and those are only about a 5/8 of an inch tall and you can see the bolt is exposed. They do not provide as much grip when you're torquing your lug nuts. And you do wanna remember that when you do install your lug nuts onto your wheels you do always want to use the correct torque for your wheel size. And also if you notice, what's nice on these is these do provide a better look with the chrome finish and the covered end and they work well on those nice looking aluminum wheels.
But that should do it for the review on this 1/2 inch by 20 size chrome trailer wheel lug nut.

Product was recieved as scheduled and fit perfect. Recommended this site to all my friends who need trailer parts.
Chrome closed end lug nutsParts appear to be constent in quality. I haven't try to install them yet because of the depth of the snow aroound the trailer but I will lt you know how they install,thanks Shipping was great!
Product as expected. Goes well with the center caps. Repainted wheels never looked better
I've replaced all my factory lug nuts with these enclosed nuts on all my trailers. They hold up well to the weather and look better than the factory open ended nut.
I was very pleased with the price and the quality of this lug nut.
It dresses up the trailer as well as protecting the stud threads
from rust. I would recommend this item from etrailer to anyone
looking for this lug nut.
