This one-piece keps nut design combines a standard hex nut with a free-spinning external tooth washer that bites into the mating surface as the fastener is torqued, creating resistance to vibration-induced loosening. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion protection for general indoor and light-duty applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople commonly use this fastener type when securing panels, brackets, and control components where vibration resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is suited for light-gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, control cabinets, HVAC equipment housings, and similar sheet metal assemblies where a 6-32 UNC thread is specified. The external tooth configuration distributes clamping load while maintaining positive locking without a separate lock washer step during assembly. The washer diameter measures 11\/32 inches and the width across flats measures 5\/16 inches. Sold as a minimum order of 100 pieces per purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated external tooth lock washer eliminates the need for a separate locking washer during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread standard for compatibility with common machine screw applications in electrical and HVAC work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plated steel construction for general-purpose corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11\/32 inch washer diameter provides adequate bearing surface on light-gauge panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch width across flats for standard hex driver or wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in multiples of 100 for shop stock and service inventory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement and general-use K-Lock nut for applications requiring a 6-32 UNC threaded fastener with an integrated external tooth lock washer in steel electrical and mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is appropriate for electricians and mechanical technicians working on control panels, enclosures, and equipment housings. De-energize all equipment and follow applicable NEC guidelines before working inside electrical enclosures. Use a standard 5\/16 inch hex wrench or nut driver to seat the fastener; the external teeth engage the mating surface as the nut is tightened. Do not overtighten on thin-gauge sheet metal, as excessive torque can strip threads or deform the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: K-Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Washer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWasher Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0025 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KEPI0-60-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701550088498,"sku":"KEPI0-60-100BX","price":1460.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abb452941d754986807ac4605122c533.jpg?v=1788401232","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-kepi0-60-100bx-6-32-k-lock-hex-nut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
