Hillman Zinc-Plated Steel Nylon Insert Lock Nuts 1-8 USS Coarse Thread
Hillman Zinc-Plated Steel Nylon Insert Lock Nuts 1-8 USS Coarse Thread
Hillman Nylon Insert Lock Nuts hold themselves tight against vibration without any extra hardware. Fitting a 1-8 coarse bolt, the nut carries an unthreaded nylon ring at its top, and as the bolt drives through, that ring deforms around the threads to create friction, so the nut resists backing off on machinery and equipment that shakes or moves in service. Because the locking action comes from the nylon collar, no separate lock washer or thread adhesive is needed. The hex flats below take a standard wrench or socket to tighten the nut normally, and the nylon grips as soon as the bolt reaches it, giving a clean, reusable self-locking connection that is quick to install. Made from steel with a protective zinc plating and a nylon locking ring, the nut resists rust and corrosion for dependable indoor and light outdoor use. The plating and collar keep their grip through normal handling and service, so a vibration-prone joint stays tight and secure over the long term without regular retightening. Use these lock nuts for machinery, engines, equipment, and vehicle assemblies subject to vibration and movement where a standard nut would loosen. They pair with a matching bolt or threaded rod. This pack provides a ready supply for machinery, automotive, and vibration-prone repair and assembly projects. From the Manufacturer The Nylon Insert Lock Nut features an integrated nylon insert that grips bolts to help resist vibration effects. This easy-to-use nut is ideal to securely fasten a bolt when connecting materials.
