Value Collection KEPI0-80-100BX Hex Nut Lock Washer 8/32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KEPI0-80-100BX is a hex nut pre-assembled with an external tooth lock washer, designed for secure fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical applications. The external tooth configuration bites into the mating surface under torque, resisting loosening from vibration without the need for a separate lock washer. Constructed from steel with an A2 material grade and a zinc finish, this fastener offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered environments. The 8/32 UNC thread size fits standard coarse-thread fastener applications common in HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosures, and equipment mounting.

This fastener is well suited for trade and light industrial use where a compact, combined nut-and-washer assembly saves installation time on high-volume jobs. Typical applications include securing control boards, panel covers, junction box hardware, and equipment frames. The zinc finish makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, this part is practical for service stock and maintenance inventory.

Key Features

• External tooth lock washer integrated with hex nut for vibration-resistant fastening
• 8/32 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard machine screw applications
• Steel construction with A2 material grade for consistent mechanical strength
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Compact combined assembly reduces parts handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8/32 UNC hex nut with external tooth lock washer for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, electrical, and HVAC panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 8/32 UNC machine screw, then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench or nut driver. Power down all electrical equipment before fastening hardware inside enclosures or control panels. Do not reuse external tooth lock washers once they have been torqued, as the teeth may not re-engage effectively. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing components inside electrical panels or HVAC equipment.
