The nylon insert compresses against the bolt threads when tightened, creating resistance to loosening from vibration and dynamic loads without damaging the mating fastener. At 11\/32 inches in height and 1\/2 inch across the flats, this nut fits standard 5\/16-24 fine-thread bolts in a compact envelope. The right-hand thread direction follows standard installation practice. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors use this style of fastener when stainless corrosion resistance is required alongside positive thread retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nut is appropriate for indoor and outdoor mechanical assemblies where vibration, moisture exposure, or corrosive environments make standard hex nuts unsuitable. Common applications include equipment mounting brackets, electrical enclosure hardware, pump and blower assemblies, conduit support structures, and pool equipment frames. The 18-8 stainless grade provides good resistance to rust and mild chemical exposure across a broad range of service environments encountered in trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration without thread damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF fine-thread designation for precise thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction per standard installation practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight of 11\/32 inches and 1\/2 inch width across flats for compact fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually; minimum order quantity of 100 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard nylon-insert hex lock nut for use with 5\/16-24 UNF fine-thread fasteners in applications requiring 18-8 stainless steel hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation does not require specialized trade licensing but should follow applicable mechanical and electrical code requirements when used in code-governed assemblies. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or tightening fasteners on electrical or mechanical components. Use a standard 1\/2-inch wrench or socket to drive this nut to snug contact; do not over-torque, as excessive force can extrude or damage the nylon insert and reduce its locking effectiveness. Nylon-insert lock nuts are generally considered single-use and should be replaced rather than reused after removal.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.012 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161716\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-31F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710564073778,"sku":"1-N-31F","price":3119.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b4cbcc931fbf52bd9108ffd1c47a62f7.jpg?v=1788468246","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1-n-31f-hex-lock-nut-5-16-24-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
