Value Collection NL5X01400-025BX Hex Lock Nut M14x2 Din 985

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NL5X01400-025BX is an M14x2 hex lock nut with a nylon insert, manufactured from 18-8 A2 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. The nylon insert deforms around mating threads to create prevailing-torque resistance, preventing loosening under vibration or dynamic loads without damaging the fastener. At 14.00 mm in height with a 22.00 mm width across flats, this nut follows DIN 985 dimensional standards. It is suited for HVAC brackets, plumbing supports, equipment enclosures, and any mechanical assembly where corrosion resistance and reliable thread locking are required. Licensed trades and mechanical contractors commonly spec this fastener grade for stainless hardware applications.

This nut is appropriate for general mechanical, structural, and equipment-mounting applications where an M14 coarse-pitch thread is used. The 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for outdoor equipment, pool and spa hardware, and wet or humid service environments. Right-hand threading is standard, and the DIN 985 designation ensures dimensional interchangeability with other DIN-compliant M14x2 fasteners. Single-piece packaging suits service calls and small repair jobs.

Key Features

• Nylon insert provides prevailing-torque locking without thread damage
• 18-8 A2 stainless steel resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service environments
• DIN 985 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with compliant M14x2 hardware
• Right-hand thread direction, M14x2 pitch
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tolerance-critical fits
• Does not meet military specifications — commercial-grade fastener

Compatibility

Designed for use with any M14x2 right-hand threaded bolt or stud conforming to DIN or equivalent metric fastener standards. Verify thread pitch and material compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Install using a 22 mm wrench or socket. Hand-thread the nut fully onto the mating fastener before applying torque to avoid cross-threading the nylon insert. Nylon insert lock nuts are generally considered single-use — the locking element loses effectiveness after removal and should be replaced rather than re-torqued. Power down or de-energize any assembly before working on fasteners in electrical enclosures or equipment panels.
