Value Collection 87922076 Hex Lock Nut 1/2-13 Nylon Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 87922076 is a nylon insert hex lock nut designed to resist loosening under vibration and torque. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction, constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection. The nylon insert grips the mating bolt threads to maintain clamp load without requiring adhesives or secondary locking hardware. Standing 39/64 inches high with a 3/4-inch width across flats, this nut fits standard hex wrench and socket tooling. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades where vibration-resistant fastening is required.

This nylon insert lock nut is suited for general-purpose mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial applications. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, structural bracketing, and utility hardware installations where a secure, reusable threaded connection is needed. The zinc plating provides light-duty corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor or sheltered environments. It follows the inch measurement system and meets UNC fastener standards.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC nylon insert hex lock nut for use with 1/2-13 threaded fasteners in general-purpose mechanical and trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 3/4-inch hex socket or open-end wrench. Ensure mating bolt threads are clean and free of debris before assembly to preserve the nylon insert integrity. The nylon insert provides a prevailing torque fit and does not require thread-locking compound. Nylon insert lock nuts are not recommended for applications exposed to sustained high temperatures that could degrade the insert material.
