FYH UCFL20516EG5NP 1-Inch Bore Flange Bearing: Worth It for Washdown Duty?

A closer look at the FYH UCFL20516EG5NP 1-inch bore flange bearing unit, including its corrosion-resistant nickel-plated cast iron housing, $23.99 price, and the open-box trade-off.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

When a bearing fails on a conveyor, packaging line, or washdown-oriented machine, the replacement decision comes down to shaft size, mounting footprint, and whether the housing can handle moisture. In the bearings, couplings, and power transmission category, the FYH UCFL20516EG5NP is one answer when the replacement needs a mounted bearing.

Quick verdict

At USD 23.99, the FYH UCFL20516EG5NP pairs a 1-inch bore with a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated cast iron 2-bolt flange housing and a ball-type insert. If that matches your shaft and bolt pattern, it is a practical replacement for food processing, packaging, conveyor, agricultural, and material handling equipment.

Who it suits

This unit works in settings where washdown resistance matters. It fits maintenance and repair work on equipment already designed for a flange-mounted bearing with this bore size. The layout keeps the swap straightforward on machines that use that mounting style.

NEW FYH UCFL20516EG5NP 1" Bore Nickel Plated 2-Bolt Flange Bearing Unit

This FYH unit is priced at USD 23.99 and includes one bearing unit in a new open-box state. A strong reason to choose it is the corrosion-resistant nickel finish on a cast iron housing. The main limitation is that the open-box packaging might not have pristine packaging, and if your line has multiple bearing positions, you will need to order for each position.

What stands out

The nickel finish and the ball-type insert are the two details that matter most. That finish makes the housing better suited to washdown exposure, which is exactly what moisture-prone operations call for.

Meaningful trade-offs

The open-box status is the biggest trade-off: the unit is new but the box has been opened. If you need a sealed box for inventory or a customer hand-off, that could be a dealbreaker. The 2-bolt pattern requires a matching mounting surface, and the bore is fixed at 1 inch, so it will not adapt to a different shaft size.

Bottom line

For a mounted bearing that can handle moisture, the FYH UCFL20516EG5NP fits the need without extra complexity. It fits the kind of equipment that gets cleaned often, and the packaging situation is the main thing to weigh before you order.
