It uses a nylon insert locking style to resist loosening under vibration and rotational loads without damaging mating threads. The nut measures 0.143 inches in height with a 1\/4-inch width across flats and follows a right-hand UNC thread direction. It is suited for general mechanical assembly applications where corrosion resistance and reliable thread locking are required. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians commonly specify 18-8 stainless hardware where mild corrosion exposure is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex lock nut is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial fastening applications. It fits standard UNC-threaded fasteners and is commonly used in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and general equipment maintenance. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of mechanical assemblies. This nut is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for contractors and maintenance shops stocking stainless fastener hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking mechanism resists vibration-induced loosening without thread damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in mildly harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and allows for inspection of base material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand UNC thread direction compatible with standard inch-system fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth across flats of 0.243 to 0.251 inches accommodates standard 1\/4-inch wrench sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth across points of 0.268 inches for accurate socket and wrench selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard UNC right-hand threaded fasteners in 1\/4-inch inch-system applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assembly contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanics, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals using a standard open-end or box wrench sized for 1\/4-inch hex fasteners. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing hardware on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally single-use; once the nylon insert has been compressed and threaded, reinstallation on the same fastener may reduce locking effectiveness. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance and relevant mechanical codes for the specific assembly.\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\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.143 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.243 to 0.251 inches (1\/4 inch)\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\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: 0.05 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-5C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712180519218,"sku":"1-N-5C","price":1468.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6c55daaeff516af5d48fdedd820a1841.jpg?v=1788484752","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1-n-5c-hex-lock-nut-1-4-inch-nylon-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
