Value Collection 1-KN-10C K-lock Hex Nut 10-24 Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-KN-10C is a K-Lock hex nut with an integrated external tooth lock washer, designed for 10-24 UNC threaded fastener applications. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this one-piece fastener combines a standard hex nut with a serrated lock washer that bites into the mating surface to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. The uncoated finish retains the natural corrosion resistance of 18-8 stainless, making it suitable for environments where mild corrosion resistance is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use K-Lock nuts where a separate lock washer would be impractical or prone to misalignment during assembly.

This nut is appropriate for light-duty mechanical and electrical panel assembly work, equipment mounting, and general fastening tasks that call for a 10-24 UNC thread. The external tooth configuration grips both the nut and the mating surface simultaneously, distributing locking force around the perimeter of the washer. Typical applications include control panel assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, HVAC equipment brackets, and similar trade installations where vibration resistance and thread security are priorities.

Key Features

• K-Lock design integrates external tooth lock washer into a single fastener, eliminating the need for a separate washer
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating or coating
• External tooth lock washer bites into mating surface to resist vibration-induced loosening
• 10-24 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard machine screw fastener systems
• Uncoated finish — no risk of coating delamination in service
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk trade and maintenance stock purchasing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 10-24 UNC threaded fasteners in standard machine screw applications. Fits any mating screw or stud conforming to the 10-24 UNC thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade professional working with standard machine screw fastening systems. Ensure the mating surface and thread are free of debris before seating the nut. Apply torque with an appropriately sized wrench matching the 3/8-inch width-across-flats dimension; do not use pliers, which can damage the serrated washer teeth and reduce locking effectiveness. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes for fastener torque requirements specific to the assembly being serviced.
