Value Collection -34276-1 Hex Lock Nut 9/16-12 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34276-1 is a 9/16-12 UNC hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking mechanism, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The nylon insert compresses against the mating bolt threads to resist loosening under vibration and torque, providing reliable holding force without the need for thread-locking compounds. At 0.625 inches in height and 0.875 inches across flats, this nut follows standard UNC inch-measurement dimensions. It is suitable for general-purpose mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and maintenance applications where vibration resistance is required. Installation by mechanics, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals is common.

This hex lock nut is used in a wide range of general-purpose fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structural assemblies. It is suited for residential and light commercial settings where a standard 9/16-12 UNC threaded fastener connection needs added resistance to vibration-induced loosening. The right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for stocking in service vehicles, supply rooms, or job-site fastener bins.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration without adhesives
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose mechanical use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments
• 9/16-12 UNC thread size follows standard inch-measurement fastener conventions
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard 9/16-12 bolts and studs
• Height of 0.625 inches and width across flats of 0.875 inches match standard hex nut tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series hex lock nut for use with 9/16-12 threaded bolts, studs, and fastener assemblies in general mechanical and trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard 7/8-inch wrench or socket driver. Tighten to the appropriate specification for the joint material and bolt grade being used. The nylon insert is a single-use locking feature — once the nut has been fully driven and removed, the locking effectiveness of the insert is reduced and replacement is recommended. Do not use where sustained temperatures will exceed the rated limits of nylon insert materials.
