It is designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads by compressing the nylon insert against mating threads when fully seated. This fastener follows the UNC thread standard with a right-hand thread direction. It measures 0.143 inches in height with a width across flats of 0.243 to 0.251 inches and a width across points of 0.268 inches. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use this nut wherever corrosion resistance and reliable thread locking are required in a compact form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nut is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications where stainless steel hardware is specified for corrosion resistance. The 18-8 stainless steel grade performs well in humid, wet, or mildly corrosive environments. The nylon insert provides a prevailing-torque locking action that does not require thread-locking compounds. Typical install scenarios include equipment panels, enclosures, piping supports, and structural connections where a 1\/4 inch UNC fastener is called out and vibration resistance is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration without chemical thread-lock compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable where a clean metallic appearance is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNC thread standard with right-hand thread direction for broad compatibility with standard inch fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 0.143 inches height fits tight clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock hex lock nut for 1\/4 inch UNC threaded fastener applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel nylon insert nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto the mating bolt or stud and torquing with an appropriately sized wrench or socket driver. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners on electrical enclosures or panels per applicable NEC requirements. The nylon insert is a single-use locking element and may lose prevailing torque if the nut is removed and reused; replace with a new nut after removal when locking performance is critical. Do not exceed the torque range appropriate for the fastener size and material grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Lock Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon Insert\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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.243 to 0.251 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.268 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.143 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0014 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-N-2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698821595442,"sku":"1-N-2C","price":954.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/034d1058a9a5d9dfdfa3180ff9e10d6b.jpg?v=1788368440","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1-n-2c-hex-lock-nut-nylon-insert-18-8-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
