Value Collection C712208 Hex Lock Nut 1/2-13 Unc 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C712208 is a 1/2-13 UNC Grade B hex lock nut with a distorted thread locking design. The distorted thread profile creates mechanical resistance against loosening caused by vibration or torque, eliminating the need for a separate locking insert or adhesive. The nut features a 3/4-inch width across flats and a zinc and wax plated finish that provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. This fastener is suited for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors working with standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod, bolts, or studs.

This hex lock nut is intended for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications where vibration resistance is required without added locking hardware. Common installation scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical panel support structures, and HVAC equipment framing. The distorted thread design is a one-piece solution that integrates the locking function directly into the nut body, making it practical for high-volume installations. Sold in a pack of 50 units.

Key Features

• Distorted thread design resists loosening from vibration without separate inserts or adhesives
• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series fastener systems
• Grade B steel construction for reliable mechanical strength in general fastening applications
• Zinc and wax plated finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor use
• 3/4-inch width across flats fits standard hex tooling
• Pack of 50 supports high-volume installation tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded fasteners including bolts, screws, and threaded rod in standard inch-series assemblies across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening hardware in proximity to live electrical components. Distorted thread lock nuts are intended for single-use applications where the locking thread may deform during installation and should not be reused as a locking fastener after removal. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the specific assembly.
