Value Collection -34271-1 Hex Lock Nut 12-24 Unc Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34271-1 is a nylon insert hex lock nut designed to resist vibration-induced loosening in threaded assemblies. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, it accepts a number 12-24 UNC right-hand thread. The nylon insert collar deforms around the mating thread to create a prevailing torque lock without the need for adhesives or additional locking hardware. At 9/32 inches high with a 13/32-inch width across flats, this nut fits standard hex wrench and socket tooling. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This lock nut is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening applications across HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, pool equipment, and general mechanical assemblies where a reliable threaded connection is required. The UNC thread standard makes it compatible with the majority of inch-series fastener assemblies encountered in residential and light commercial trade work. Right-hand thread direction aligns with standard installation practice for most field applications.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized socket or open-end wrench sized for a 13/32-inch hex. Confirm the mating bolt or stud is a number 12-24 UNC right-hand thread before installation. Do not reuse nylon insert lock nuts after removal, as the insert loses prevailing torque effectiveness once deformed. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque requirements.
