Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor environments. The nylon insert creates a prevailing torque that grips the mating thread without damaging it, maintaining clamp load through repeated thermal cycling or mechanical shock. Standing 23\/64 inches high with a 1\/2 inch width across flats, this nut fits standard 5\/16-18 UNC fasteners. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use this type of fastener wherever stainless hardware and positive thread locking are both required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex lock nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where standard steel fasteners would corrode or where vibration-prone assemblies demand positive thread retention. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe hanger hardware, electrical panel supports, and structural bracketing in corrosive or moisture-rich environments. The right-hand thread direction is standard for all common fastening tools. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for stocking or multi-unit service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening under vibration without damaging mating thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread size covers a wide range of standard fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction compatible with all standard tools and fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeight of 23\/64 inches and 1\/2 inch width across flats for use with standard wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5\/16-18 UNC right-hand threaded bolts and studs where a nylon insert prevailing-torque lock nut is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a standard wrench or socket sized for 1\/2 inch across flats. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastener work on live assemblies. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally single-use; the insert loses effectiveness if removed and reinstalled. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the applicable code or equipment manufacturer before torquing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Lock Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.011 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161716\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: L79NE0518\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710583931186,"sku":"L79NE0518","price":4768.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/304cf69a7969ebd862f907674f1ebd48.jpg?v=1788468456","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-l79ne0518-hex-lock-nut-5-16-18-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
