Value Collection L52CLC0714 Hex Lock Nut 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION L52CLC0714 is a hex lock nut with a distorted-thread locking style, designed for use in high-vibration assemblies where standard nuts risk backing off over time. Manufactured from Grade C steel with a clear cadmium plating, this UNC-threaded fastener measures 0.375 inches in height and 0.6875 inches across the flats. The distorted thread design creates an interference fit during installation, generating prevailing torque without relying on a secondary locking element such as a nylon insert or a serrated flange. It suits applications in mechanical, industrial, and trade settings where reliable thread retention is required.

This nut is suited for use with 7/16-14 UNC bolts and threaded rod in right-hand thread configurations. Typical applications include equipment assembly, structural bracketing, and mechanical sub-assemblies in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general industrial fabrication. The cadmium clear finish provides moderate corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for indoor and controlled-environment installations. This is a single-unit package sold in multiples of 100.

Key Features

• Distorted thread locking style provides prevailing torque without secondary locking hardware
• Grade C steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Clear cadmium plating for corrosion resistance in controlled environments
• 7/16-14 UNC thread size, right-hand direction
• 0.375 inches height and 0.6875 inches width across flats for standard hex tooling
• Inch measurement system, UNC fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/16-14 UNC right-hand threaded bolts and threaded rod in standard inch-measurement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized to 0.6875 inches across the flats. Distorted thread lock nuts are intended for single-use applications, as reuse may reduce prevailing torque performance. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing threaded fastener connections in electrical or HVAC assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and joint requirements.
