Value Collection L79NE1011 Hex Lock Nut 5/8-11 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION L79NE1011 is a 5/8-11 hex lock nut with a nylon insert locking mechanism, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel. The nylon insert creates interference with mating threads to resist loosening from vibration and torque. At 49/64 inches in height with a 15/16-inch width across flats, this nut conforms to UNC thread standards and is sized for use with standard 5/8-inch fastener assemblies. It is installed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals wherever a corrosion-resistant, vibration-resistant fastener is required.

This hex lock nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where exposure to moisture or mild corrosives makes stainless steel a preferred material over carbon steel. Typical use cases include mechanical equipment mounting, pipe support assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and structural fastening in damp or outdoor environments. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of threaded fastener applications encountered in trade work.

Key Features

• Nylon insert locking style resists loosening under vibration without damaging mating threads
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 5/8-11 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction
• 49/64 inch height and 15/16 inch width across flats for standard hex wrench fitment
• Does not require adhesive or secondary locking compound to retain position

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/8-11 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners in standard inch-measurement fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a compatible 5/8-11 UNC bolt or stud, then torquing with a standard hex wrench or socket. De-energize or depressurize any assembly before replacing or tightening fasteners under load. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally intended for single-use applications, as repeated installation and removal degrades the nylon insert and reduces locking effectiveness. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for minimum thread engagement requirements.
