The nylon insert compresses against mating thread flanks to resist loosening under vibration, thermal cycling, and mechanical shock without damaging the fastener threads. At 5\/16 inches in height and 7\/16 inches across the flats, this nut is sized for standard 1\/4-20 fastener assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to 304 alloys, making it suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or marine service environments. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and pool equipment trades rely on this fastener type for secure, reusable connections in corrosive conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lock nut is used in residential and commercial applications wherever vibration resistance and corrosion resistance are required together. Common install scenarios include outdoor conduit and junction box assemblies, pool and spa equipment enclosures, marine-grade plumbing fittings, HVAC unit panels, and general mechanical assemblies exposed to moisture or mild chemical wash-down. The right-hand thread direction is standard for virtually all UNC fastener assemblies. This nut is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 50 units per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locks against mating threads to resist vibration-induced loosening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch height and 7\/16 inch width across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable locking mechanism does not damage mating thread flanks during removal and reinstallation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any assembly requiring a 1\/4-20 UNC hex lock nut with nylon insert in Grade 316 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for 7\/16 inches across the flats. De-energize all electrical circuits and isolate any pressurized lines before disassembling fastened joints in live systems. Nylon insert lock nuts are intended for single-direction installation and may lose locking torque if removed and reinstalled multiple times. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the assembly being serviced.\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: 1\/4-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.009 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\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: L79NE2816-0420\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690754146610,"sku":"L79NE2816-0420","price":2542.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b3a8db5faff29e294b87da591764cc7d.jpg?v=1788275056","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-l79ne2816-0420-hex-lock-nut-1-4-20-ss316","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
