Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, this nut provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. The external tooth lock washer is captive to the nut body, creating a two-in-one fastener that resists loosening under vibration without requiring a separate lock washer. Overall height is 0.156 inches and width across flats measures 0.344 inches. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors use this style of nut wherever vibration resistance and compact fastener stacking are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis K-Lock nut is suited for light-gauge panel assembly, electrical enclosures, control box mounting, and equipment bracket fastening in residential and commercial trade applications. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common machine screw size found across control panels, fan assemblies, junction boxes, and sheet metal components. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces, making this fastener appropriate for stocking in maintenance shops, service vans, and fabrication environments that require reliable, small-format hardware on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK-Lock design integrates an external tooth lock washer directly onto the hex nut body, eliminating a separate component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor-exposed assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with common machine screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal tooth configuration bites into mating surface to resist loosening from vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating buildup on threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.156-inch height suits tight clearance applications in panel and enclosure work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 8-32 UNC machine screws in standard hex nut applications requiring integrated vibration-resistant locking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a wrench sized to 0.344 inches across flats; use standard hand tools appropriate for the assembly. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of debris so the external teeth can seat properly and provide full locking action. De-energize any electrical equipment or shut off the relevant system before servicing panels or enclosures where these nuts are used. Do not reuse K-Lock nuts in critical applications after removal, as tooth deformation reduces locking effectiveness on reinstallation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: K-Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Washer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.156 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.344 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWasher Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0031 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-KN-8C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697609867570,"sku":"1-KN-8C","price":1724.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5ff07b9d57f0dd1573f8d43f8d8e9fb4.jpg?v=1788353395","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1-kn-8c-k-lock-hex-nut-8-32-stainless-18-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
