It is sized for 5\/16-24 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread applications and manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. Standing 23\/64 inches high with a 1\/2-inch width across flats, this standard-profile nut is a workhorse fastener used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel assemblies wherever a reliable prevailing-torque lock is needed. Installation requires a standard 1\/2-inch open-end or box wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nylon insert lock nut is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Common applications include equipment mounting, bracket assemblies, fan blade retention, and control panel hardware where vibration or thermal cycling could cause a standard nut to back off over time. The right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of UNF fastener assemblies in trade work. These nuts are sold individually but require a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making them appropriate for stocking in shop inventory or field service kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon insert provides prevailing-torque locking without adhesives or secondary locking hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF right-hand thread for compatibility with standard fine-thread fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 23\/64 inches high fits in space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5\/16-24 UNF threaded bolts and studs in general-purpose mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified tradespeople or mechanical technicians following applicable equipment service procedures. De-energize or shut down any equipment before fastener service to prevent injury. Use a properly sized 1\/2-inch wrench or socket to drive the nut; avoid over-torquing, which can damage or deform the nylon insert and reduce locking effectiveness. The nylon insert is rated for single-use locking — once fully torqued and removed, the nut should be replaced rather than reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF (Inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.011 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: 34283\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714747662642,"sku":"34283","price":486.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/292476554fb48b8642eb41d5ee235905.jpg?v=1788505745","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-34283-hex-lock-nut-5-16-24-nylon-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
