Value Collection 1-N-56C Hex Lock Nut 9/16-12 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1-N-56C is a 9/16-12 UNC hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking mechanism, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. The nylon insert creates interference with the mating thread, resisting loosening caused by vibration or torque fluctuation. At 41/64 inches in height and 7/8 inches across flats, this nut is sized for standard 9/16-12 UNC fastener assemblies. Right-hand thread direction conforms to standard installation practice. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance in mild to moderate environments, making it a practical choice for plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical assemblies.

This hex lock nut is suited for use in residential and light commercial trade applications where vibration resistance and corrosion resistance are required. Typical installations include pipe hangers, equipment mounting, HVAC component fastening, and general mechanical assemblies. The nylon insert locking style eliminates the need for additional locking compounds or secondary fasteners. Minimum order quantity is 5 units; the package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration without adhesives
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in mild environments
• 9/16-12 UNC right-hand thread, conforming to inch fastener standards
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and corrosion-resistant applications
• 41/64 inches height with 7/8 inches across flats for standard hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex lock nut for 9/16-12 UNC threaded fastener assemblies in trade and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using standard hex wrenches or sockets sized for 7/8 inches across flats. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastened assemblies. The nylon insert is rated for single use only; a used nylon insert lock nut should not be relied upon to provide the same clamping force as a new unit. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and assembly requirements.
