Value Collection 44696 M18 X 2.50 Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 44696 is a metric hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking style, designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. Manufactured to Class 10 material grade with a zinc-plated finish, this nut suits demanding fastening applications where corrosion resistance and secure thread engagement are required. The M18 x 2.50 thread size accommodates standard metric fastener assemblies. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or industrial equipment will find this nut a reliable component for secure joint assembly.

This nylon insert hex lock nut is suited for general-purpose metric fastening in both residential and commercial maintenance and construction environments. The nylon insert creates interference with mating threads, providing prevailing torque without the need for secondary locking methods such as thread-locking compounds or additional hardware. It is appropriate for use wherever an M18 x 2.50 metric fastener is being secured against vibration-induced loosening.

Key Features

• M18 x 2.50 metric thread size for standard metric bolt compatibility
• Nylon insert locking style provides prevailing torque without adhesives
• Class 10 material grade for high-strength fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish for added corrosion resistance
• 18.50 mm height and 27.00 mm width across flats for proper wrench engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard prevailing-torque hex lock nut for use with M18 x 2.50 metric threaded fasteners in general mechanical and industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with metric fastener standards. Ensure the mating bolt and work surface are free of debris before assembly. Use an appropriate metric wrench or socket sized for a 27.00 mm across-flats dimension. Nylon insert lock nuts are typically intended for single-use applications and should not be reused once removed, as the locking torque of the nylon insert may be reduced after initial installation.
