The nylon insert creates interference with the mating thread to resist loosening caused by vibration and torque. At 29\/64 inches in height with a 9\/16-inch width across flats, this nut follows standard inch-series fastener geometry. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong resistance to corrosion, making this nut appropriate for wet, marine, chemical-exposure, and outdoor environments. Sold in a package quantity of 50, this nut is suited for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with corrosion-resistant hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nylon insert lock nut is used in applications where fastener loosening due to vibration or dynamic load is a concern. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the majority of mechanical assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel is a common choice in pool and spa equipment, marine hardware, coastal HVAC installations, chemical processing, and food-service environments where chloride or moisture exposure is likely. The 3\/8-24 fine-thread pitch offers greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it suitable for assemblies requiring precise tensioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening under vibration without requiring adhesives or secondary locking elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 fine-thread pitch for precise thread engagement and controlled torque applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a 50-count package to support production and maintenance operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInch measurement system with UNC fastener standard compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8-24 UNC inch-series threaded fasteners and bolts in standard right-hand thread assemblies requiring a nylon insert hex lock nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed using a standard hex wrench or socket sized to 9\/16 inches across flats. Power down or depressurize any system before servicing fasteners on live mechanical assemblies. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally intended for single use, as the nylon insert loses clamping interference after removal and should not be reused in critical joints. Follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24\u003c\/li\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\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\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: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 30648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697004806450,"sku":"30648","price":158.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_a11e0f0c-8d15-49aa-a5fa-a38ddf1a918f.jpg?v=1788348378","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-30648-hex-lock-nut-3-8-24-316-ss-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
