The nut is manufactured from Grade B steel with a zinc-plated and wax-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance and reduces installation torque. At 17\/64 inches high with 1\/2 inch across the flats, this is a standard-profile hex nut suited for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Each package contains 50 nuts. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working on equipment assemblies, bracket mounting, and general mechanical fastening will find this a practical shop-stock item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex lock nut is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial mechanical assemblies wherever a 5\/16-24 UNF right-hand thread fastener is required. The distorted-thread design creates prevailing torque through thread interference, making it reusable for low-cycle service. Typical applications include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure mounting hardware, plumbing fixture brackets, and general equipment assembly where vibration resistance is needed without adhesive thread-locking compounds. Packaged in a quantity of 50, this part is well suited for bench stock and service van inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistorted-thread locking style creates prevailing torque through thread interference for vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade B steel construction provides reliable mechanical strength for general fastening duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated and wax-plated finish offers corrosion resistance and reduces installation torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard hex profile with 1\/2 inch across flats accepts common 1\/2-inch wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 50 for efficient shop-stock and field replenishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 5\/16-24 UNF hex lock nut with a distorted-thread prevailing-torque design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified maintenance technicians or tradespeople using a 1\/2-inch wrench or socket. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Distorted-thread lock nuts may be reused for low-cycle applications but should be inspected for thread damage before reuse. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant codes such as the NEC or IFGC when fastening components in regulated systems.\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: Distorted Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24\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: UNF\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: B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated and Wax-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/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\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: MPC712203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720200028466,"sku":"MPC712203","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2dd9518ab5de93b874c7431beabc252f.jpg?v=1788561510","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mpc712203-hex-lock-nut-5-16-24-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
