Value Collection C712204 3/8-16 Unc Hex Lock Nut 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C712204 is a 3/8-16 UNC Grade B hex lock nut with a distorted thread locking mechanism and a zinc and wax plated finish. The distorted thread design creates mechanical interference at installation, resisting loosening caused by vibration or repeated load cycling without requiring a separate insert or patch. This style of prevailing torque nut is a standard fastener used across mechanical, structural, and trade applications wherever a reliable threaded connection is required. Installation is performed by licensed mechanics, millwrights, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors working with 3/8-inch fastener assemblies.

This hex lock nut is suited for general industrial, commercial, and residential trade applications requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread form. The Grade B rating indicates a defined proof load and hardness specification appropriate for steel fastener assemblies. The zinc and wax plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for interior and light-duty exterior environments. Available in a package quantity of 100, the C712204 is well suited for contractors, service shops, and supply rooms that maintain fastener stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/8-inch hex nut. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before working in fastener assemblies on live mechanical or electrical systems. Distorted thread lock nuts are single-use by design and should be replaced rather than reused after removal. Follow applicable mechanical codes and fastener torque guidelines published by the equipment manufacturer or relevant standards body.
