Tornado Keps Nut 02956

The Keps Nut (part# 02956) is a genuine Tornado OEM replacement part fitted across a wide range of Tornado commercial machines — see the full compatibility list below, and call 763-535-0770 to confirm your model. It locks the front panel fasteners so vibration cannot back them out — the captive washer face spreads the clamp load on plastic.

On this machine the keps nut is part of the assembly shown on the model’s parts diagrams. Five are fitted on the front assembly; a Keps nut should be replaced rather than reused once the serration is flattened.

When to replace it. Replace the keps nut when the nut spins freely, or a panel it secures works loose between services. Fitting a worn part back during a service is usually a false economy on a machine in daily commercial use, because the failure tends to return quickly and can take neighbouring components with it.

Fitting notes. Five are fitted on the front assembly; a Keps nut should be replaced rather than reused once the serration is flattened. Always match electrical parts to your machine’s voltage, and check the serial plate before ordering parts for the later production build. If you are not certain which part you need, give us the callout number from the relevant diagram and we will confirm it against your serial number before you order.
