The nylon insert deforms around mating threads under torque, creating a prevailing-torque lock that resists loosening from vibration without damaging the fastener. Standing 15\/32 inches high with a width across flats of 11\/16 inches, this nut follows a right-hand thread direction and conforms to inch measurement standards. It is suited for mechanical assemblies where vibration resistance is required and reusability is acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lock nut is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture securing, electrical panel assembly, and general mechanical fastening. The zinc-plated finish provides light-duty corrosion protection appropriate for indoor or protected outdoor environments. Its 7\/16-20 UNF thread pitch is a fine-thread specification commonly found in automotive, HVAC, and light structural assemblies where thread engagement strength is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style provides vibration-resistant prevailing torque without thread damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-20 UNF fine-thread specification for high thread engagement strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction for general-purpose fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish for light corrosion resistance in protected environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction per standard UNF fastener convention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight of 15\/32 inches and width across flats of 11\/16 inches for standard wrench fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex lock nut for any application requiring a 7\/16-20 UNF nylon insert prevailing-torque nut in Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a standard open-end or box wrench sized for an 11\/16-inch across-flats dimension. Ensure mating bolt threads are clean and free of damage before installation, as nylon insert nuts are sensitive to contaminated or damaged threads. Nylon insert lock nuts are intended for single-use or limited-reuse applications — inspect the nylon insert for deformation before reusing. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque requirements based on the specific assembly.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\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: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 34285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51709157671218,"sku":"34285","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b09070f56c46f936072a43fd5859fe07.jpg?v=1788452119","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-34285-hex-lock-nut-7-16-20-nylon-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
