The nylon insert compresses against mating threads to resist loosening caused by vibration, thermal cycling, and dynamic loads. At 29\/64 inches high with a 9\/16 inch width across flats, this fastener is sized for standard 3\/8-16 threaded assemblies. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to 304, making it a preferred choice for marine, chemical processing, pool equipment, and outdoor plumbing applications. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. Installation and removal require a standard 9\/16 inch wrench or socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where vibration resistance and corrosion resistance are both required. Common use cases include pool and spa equipment assemblies, marine hardware, HVAC equipment mounting hardware, plumbing fixtures, and any outdoor or wet-environment structural fastening. The nylon insert provides a prevailing-torque locking action without the need for thread-locking compounds, making it practical for assemblies that require periodic disassembly. Installers working in coastal, chemical, or chlorinated environments will find the Grade 316 alloy appropriate for extended service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling without adhesives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to flake, chip, or interfere with torque values\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e29\/64 inch height and 9\/16 inch width across flats fit standard hex tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8-16 UNC right-hand threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in inch-series fastener assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a 9\/16 inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket. Because the nylon insert provides prevailing-torque resistance, slightly higher installation torque is normal compared to a standard hex nut. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally rated for single use — once the nylon has been fully engaged and the nut removed, inspect the insert before reuse. Do not use impact drivers at high torque settings, as excessive force can damage the nylon insert and eliminate the locking function.\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\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\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: 29\/64 inches (0.453 inches nominal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.553 to 0.564 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.622 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.018 pounds\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: L79NE2816-0616\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699598524722,"sku":"L79NE2816-0616","price":3327.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd63d8709869ddca237cce95b7583b22.jpg?v=1788378026","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-l79ne2816-0616-hex-lock-nut-3-8-16-316-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
