Value Collection 41762 M10 Hex Lock Nut Class 8 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41762 is a metric hex lock nut with a nylon insert, designed for applications requiring vibration-resistant fastening. Built from Class 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this nut meets DIN 985 standards. The nylon insert grips the mating thread and resists loosening under dynamic loads, vibration, or thermal cycling. The M10 x 1.00 thread size fits standard metric fasteners. At 10.00 mm in height with a 17.00 mm width across flats, it fits standard M10 hex tooling. This nut is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC mechanics, and general trade professionals wherever a reliable locking fastener is required.

This hex lock nut is suited for both light industrial and commercial applications involving metric fastener assemblies. Typical use cases include equipment mounting, panel assembly, bracket fastening, and any structural joint subject to vibration or frequent movement. The right-hand thread direction is standard for most metric assemblies. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, plumbing brackets, and general mechanical assemblies where a DIN 985-compliant nylon insert lock nut is specified.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration and dynamic loading
• Class 8 steel construction provides solid tensile and proof load ratings for metric fastener assemblies
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty environments
• Conforms to DIN 985 fastener standard for metric nylon insert hex lock nuts
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard metric bolt and stud assemblies
• M10 x 1.00 thread size with 17.00 mm width across flats for use with standard M10 hex tools

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 985-compliant nylon insert hex lock nut for use with M10 x 1.00 metric threaded fasteners in standard trade and industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician using an appropriate metric hex wrench or socket sized for a 17.00 mm width across flats. De-energize or isolate any equipment before fastener work begins. Nylon insert lock nuts are typically single-use — the locking torque of the nylon insert degrades after removal, and reuse is not recommended in critical joints. Torque to the fastener assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer.
