The nylon insert collar deforms around the mating thread when driven to torque, creating prevailing torque resistance that holds the nut in place under vibration and dynamic loading without requiring a secondary locking element. At 21\/64 inches high with 11\/16 inches across the flats, this is a standard-profile inch-series hex lock nut suited for general mechanical assembly work across a wide range of industrial and trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nut is used in general-purpose bolted assemblies where vibration resistance is required. Typical applications include HVAC equipment mounting, sheet metal sub-frame fastening, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing fixture hardware, and light structural connections. The right-hand thread direction and UNC thread form make it compatible with standard inch-series bolts and threaded rod. Grade 2 steel construction is appropriate for low-to-medium strength fastening requirements in non-critical assemblies. The zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered-outdoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style provides reliable prevailing torque resistance without secondary hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction suited for general-purpose, non-critical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand UNC thread direction — compatible with standard inch-series fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 21\/64 inches high, 11\/16 inches across flats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series hex lock nut for use with 7\/16-14 UNC bolts and threaded rod in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a standard 11\/16-inch open-end or combination wrench. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. The nylon insert is single-use — once fully driven and removed, the locking torque is significantly reduced and the nut should be replaced rather than reused. Follow applicable torque guidelines for Grade 2 fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or governing standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14\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\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\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: 34028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721403629874,"sku":"34028","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aa88b9d3df57504cc84c076dacb6609b.jpg?v=1788577107","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-34028-hex-lock-nut-7-16-14-nylon-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
