The nylon insert creates interference with the mating thread, resisting loosening caused by vibration and torque cycling without damaging the fastener. At 23\/64 inches in height and 1\/2 inch across the flats, this nut fits standard 1\/2-inch wrenches and sockets. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention. Suitable for general mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture support structures, and light electrical enclosure work where a low-profile prevailing-torque nut is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex lock nut is used in a wide range of trade applications where fastener retention under vibration is required. Common installations include equipment bases, fan assemblies, bracket hardware, and structural sub-assemblies in residential and light commercial settings. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor or protected outdoor environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vehicle hardware kits or shop inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon insert locking style resists loosening under vibration without thread damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF right-hand thread for standard inch-series fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction suitable for general-duty mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in protected environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23\/64 inches height and 1\/2 inch across flats fits standard wrench tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 50 units supports bulk hardware stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard UNF inch-series hex lock nut compatible with 5\/16-24 threaded fasteners in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a standard 1\/2-inch wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies on electrical or HVAC components. Nylon insert lock nuts are not rated for repeated reuse — replace the nut if it has been removed and re-torqued multiple times, as the nylon locking element degrades with each cycle. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the joint being assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\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\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\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: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: MP34283\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691173642546,"sku":"MP34283","price":18.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_2a169d93-e7f5-4134-b17f-1fccacbaa504.jpg?v=1788281057","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mp34283-hex-lock-nut-5-16-24-grade-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
