Murray 71495ma Wing Nut 5/16-18 Nyloc

Product Description

The MURRAY 71495ma is a 5/16-18 nyloc wing nut designed for use in Murray lawn and garden equipment assembly. This fastener features a nylon insert locking mechanism that resists loosening under vibration, making it well suited for the repeated stress and movement typical of outdoor power equipment. The wing nut profile allows for tool-free hand tightening and removal, which is useful in field service and maintenance scenarios where quick access to components is required. Technicians and equipment service professionals working on Murray outdoor power equipment will encounter this part as a standard assembly fastener.

This nyloc wing nut is used in Murray lawn and garden equipment where a secure, vibration-resistant fastener is needed and hand access is preferred over tool-driven installation. Common applications include blade guards, housings, and removable panels on Murray walk-behind and riding lawn equipment. Its nylon locking insert provides a reliable hold without the need for separate locking hardware such as split lock washers or thread-locking compound.
