Value Collection 44690 Hex Lock Nut M6 X 1.00 Nylon Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 44690 is a metric hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking mechanism, manufactured from Class 10 steel with a zinc-plated finish. Conforming to DIN 985, this fastener accepts an M6 x 1.00 right-hand thread and delivers reliable prevailing-torque resistance by compressing a nylon insert against mating thread flanks. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly applications. At 6.00 mm in height and 10.00 mm across flats, it is a compact, standard-geometry nut used wherever vibration resistance is required in metric-threaded assemblies.

This nut is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly work across industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications. It is a common fastener choice in HVAC equipment assembly, machinery fabrication, enclosure mounting, and general trade maintenance. The M6 thread size and DIN 985 standard make it interchangeable with any DIN-compliant M6 hardware. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on equipment that requires vibration-resistant fastening will find this nut a standard go-to component. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style prevents loosening under vibration without damaging mating threads
• M6 x 1.00 right-hand thread conforms to DIN 985 metric fastener standard
• Class 10 steel construction for higher-strength metric fastener applications
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 10.00 mm width across flats fits standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Compact 6.00 mm height suits shallow fastening envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 985-compliant replacement or standard-use hex lock nut for any M6 x 1.00 right-hand threaded bolt or stud in metric fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-starting the nut onto a clean, undamaged M6 x 1.00 threaded fastener, then tightening with an appropriate 10 mm metric wrench or socket. Nylon insert lock nuts are single-use by design — once the nylon insert has been fully engaged and the nut removed, the prevailing-torque resistance is reduced and the nut should not be reused in safety-critical applications. Ensure mating threads are free of burrs, debris, and lubricant unless a specific torque specification requires it.
