Value Collection 1-N-100F Hex Lock Nut 1-14 Unf 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-N-100F is a nylon insert hex lock nut designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. The nylon insert creates interference against the bolt threads, maintaining clamp load without adhesive compounds. Thread size is 1-14 UNF with right-hand thread direction. Height measures 1-3/64 inches and width across flats measures 1-7/16 inches. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and process piping regularly specify this nut type where vibration resistance and reusability are required.

This hex lock nut is suited for industrial, commercial, and marine applications where standard hex nuts risk backing off under repeated loading cycles. Typical uses include structural fastening, pump and motor mounting, fluid system hardware, and equipment fabrication requiring a stainless fastener with positive locking action. The 1-14 UNF thread form is a fine-pitch unified thread, making this nut appropriate for applications demanding precise axial adjustment or fine torque control.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration without thread-locking compounds
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers strong corrosion resistance in wet and marine environments
• 1-14 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise fastening control
• Right-hand thread direction, standard orientation for most mechanical assemblies
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids coating thickness variation
• Conforms to inch system of measurement; UNSPSC Code 31161716

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF nylon insert hex lock nut for use with 1-14 right-hand-thread fasteners in inch-dimensioned mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician using a properly sized hex wrench or socket. Verify that the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of damage before threading the nut. The nylon insert adds torque resistance during run-down; use a torque wrench to achieve consistent and accurate final clamp load. Do not use this nut at temperatures exceeding the nylon insert material limits, and inspect the insert for wear before reuse.
