Value Collection 34029 Hex Lock Nut 1/2-13 Nylon Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34029 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex lock nut featuring a nylon insert locking mechanism. The nylon insert compresses against mating threads when fully seated, creating resistance to loosening caused by vibration and torque. The nut body is Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and outdoor applications. At 21/64 inches in height with a 3/4-inch width across flats, this is a standard-profile fastener suitable for a wide range of mechanical assemblies encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and equipment-mounting work.

This hex lock nut is used wherever a 1/2-13 UNC threaded fastener requires a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Typical applications include equipment mounting, pipe support bracketing, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical fabrication. The right-hand thread direction is the standard for the vast majority of threaded fastener applications. This nut is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for contractors and technicians stocking fastener supplies for field or shop use.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket. Nylon insert lock nuts are single-use by design — once the nylon insert has been fully engaged and removed, locking effectiveness is reduced and replacement is recommended. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of damage before installation. No special tools or codes are required for standard fastener installation.
