Value Collection C50000111 Hex Lock Nut Nylon Insert 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000111 is a nylon insert hex lock nut designed to resist vibration-induced loosening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 5/32 inches in height with a 1/4-inch width across flats. The nylon insert collapses around the mating thread to create a prevailing torque that keeps the nut in place under dynamic loads. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC fastener convention. Sold in a pack of 100, this nut is a practical stocking item for maintenance shops, contractors, and trade professionals who run through standard fasteners in volume.

This nut is suited for general-purpose bolted connections in residential and light commercial applications where vibration resistance is needed without the use of chemical thread-locking compounds. Common installation scenarios include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, panel attachment, and mechanical component fastening across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial service work. The zinc-plated finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket sized to 1/4 inch across flats. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before threading the nut. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally not rated for reuse after full removal, as the insert loses clamping integrity after repeated cycling. No special tools or trade certifications are required for standard fastener installation.
