Value Collection HNCWI0-80-100BX 8-32 K-lock Hex Nut Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HNCWI0-80-100BX is a K-Lock hex nut with an integrated conical lock washer, manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish. Designed for 8-32 UNC threaded fastener applications, the conical washer bites into the mating surface under torque to resist loosening from vibration. The 3/8-inch washer diameter seats cleanly against standard clearance holes, and the 11/32-inch width across flats is compatible with common hand and power tools. This fastener is appropriate for electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, control box fabrication, and general mechanical assemblies where a compact locking nut is required.

This K-Lock nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial trade work. Typical use scenarios include securing control boards, mounting brackets, enclosure covers, and wire management hardware in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Conical lock washer integrated into nut body resists loosening under vibration
• 8-32 UNC thread standard compatible with common machine screws in trade equipment
• 3/8-inch washer diameter provides stable seating on standard clearance holes
• 11/32-inch width across flats fits standard 7/16-inch wrenches and nut drivers
• Zinc plated steel finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor service environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC K-Lock hex nut suitable for general machine screw fastening applications in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assemblies where a locking nut with an integrated conical washer is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-starting the nut onto a mating 8-32 UNC machine screw, then driving to final torque with a nut driver or wrench. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize circuits before servicing any panel or enclosure hardware. Avoid over-torquing, as excessive force can deform the conical washer and reduce locking effectiveness. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
