Value Collection 87922092 Hex Lock Nut 5/8-11 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 87922092 is a 5/8-11 UNC hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking mechanism, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The nylon insert compresses against the bolt threads when driven down, creating a prevailing-torque lock that resists loosening from vibration and dynamic loads. Standing 49/64 inches high with a 15/16-inch width across flats, this nut fits standard 5/8-11 right-hand-threaded fasteners common in structural, mechanical, and equipment-assembly applications. It is suitable for general-purpose fastening work across plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, and light structural installations where reusable vibration resistance is required.

This hex lock nut is used in residential and commercial trade applications where a reliable, vibration-resistant connection is needed on 5/8-11 threaded rod, bolts, or studs. Typical scenarios include equipment base mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical panel supports, and HVAC unit anchoring. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. This nut is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units per transaction.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style creates prevailing-torque resistance against vibration-induced loosening
• 5/8-11 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose fastening loads
• Zinc-plated finish provides moderate corrosion protection in sheltered environments
• Standard hex profile accepts common 15/16-inch wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit hex lock nut for any application using 5/8-11 UNC right-hand-threaded bolts, studs, or threaded rod in inch-series fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade technician working with 5/8-11 threaded fasteners using a standard 15/16-inch wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the nut. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally suitable for one or two reuses; replace the nut if the nylon insert shows wear or no longer provides resistance. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for proper fastener torque sequences on the assembly being serviced.
