Value Collection KP66136 Hex Lock Nut 1-8 Unc Grade C 10 Pack

Product Description

The Value Collection KP66136 is a distorted-thread hex lock nut designed for secure fastening in standard 1-8 UNC threaded assemblies. Distorted-thread locking nuts resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads without the need for adhesives or secondary locking hardware. The nut is manufactured from Grade C steel with a zinc-plated and wax finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance and reduces installation torque. This part is sold in a 10-piece package and is suited for general mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications.

This hex lock nut is used in residential and commercial maintenance, equipment fabrication, and general industrial assembly wherever a 1-8 UNC right-hand thread is specified. The distorted-thread design makes it a drop-in solution for standard hex nut locations that require vibration resistance without added components. Installers working in HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing support structures, and electrical panel framing will find this a practical stocking fastener for routine service and repair tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket set matching the nut width across flats. Ensure the mating threaded fastener is clean and free of debris before driving the nut. The distorted-thread locking feature is a one-time-use design on many grades, so inspect the nut for thread deformation after removal before reusing. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
