Value Collection KEPI0-60-050B Hex Nut Lock Washer 6-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KEPI0-60-050B is a hex nut with an integrated external tooth lock washer, designed to provide secure fastening in threaded assemblies subject to vibration or loosening. Built from steel with an A2 material grade and a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this fastener uses a 6-32 UNC thread standard. The external tooth configuration bites into the mating surface as the nut is tightened, resisting rotational loosening without the need for a separate washer component. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel fabricators, and mechanical contractors use this style of fastener in control panel assembly, equipment mounting, and general sheet metal work.

This fastener is suited for light-duty threaded applications using 6-32 UNC fastener systems. The external tooth lock washer is integral to the nut, making it a compact, single-piece solution for applications where space is limited or assembly speed matters. Common installation scenarios include electrical enclosures, HVAC control boards, equipment frames, and other light-gauge steel assemblies where a captive locking element is preferred.

Key Features

• External tooth lock washer integrated into the hex nut for single-piece installation
• 6-32 UNC thread size for standard light-duty fastener applications
• Steel construction with A2 material grade for reliable mechanical strength
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry or indoor environments
• Compact form factor suits tight panel and enclosure assembly work

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-32 UNC threaded fastener systems in standard light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a standard hex wrench or nut driver sized for a 6-32 nut. De-energize any electrical equipment fully before working inside panels or enclosures. Tighten to snug contact so the external teeth engage the mating surface without stripping the thread. Do not reuse lock washer nuts after removal, as the locking teeth may not re-engage effectively.
