The nylon insert creates interference with the mating thread, resisting loosening from vibration and torque without damaging the fastener. At 19\/64 inches high and 7\/16 inches across the flats, this nut fits standard 1\/4-20 threaded rod, bolts, and studs. The zinc plating provides light corrosion resistance in general indoor and sheltered applications. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors use this fastener type daily in panel, equipment, and structural assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. Common uses include securing components to threaded rod, mounting brackets, panel hardware, and equipment frames where vibration resistance is required. The 1\/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most widely used coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this nut compatible with a broad range of bolts, machine screws, and all-thread rod in that size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locks against mating threads to resist loosening under vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general mechanical fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers light corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC right-hand thread — one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in trade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e19\/64 inches height and 7\/16 inches across flats fit standard 7\/16-inch wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 1\/4-20 UNC right-hand threaded bolts, machine screws, and threaded rod in general mechanical and trade fastening applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed or qualified trade professional should install fasteners in accordance with applicable mechanical, electrical, or plumbing codes for the jurisdiction. Power down or de-energize any equipment before working in energized panels or enclosures. Use a calibrated torque wrench when a specific torque value is specified by the equipment manufacturer for the assembly. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally single-use — once the nylon has been compressed by threading, locking effectiveness is reduced if the nut is reused.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\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: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\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: 34272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697234411826,"sku":"34272","price":538.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f063ea6a5563a7e57e9467ba0c85e8a8.jpg?v=1788350890","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-34272-hex-lock-nut-1-4-20-nylon-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
