Sized at 3\/8-16 UNC, it is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications. The nut measures 21\/64 inches in height with a 9\/16-inch width across flats, making it a standard fit for common hex tooling. The distorted-thread locking mechanism creates interference with the mating bolt thread, eliminating the need for a secondary locking device. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors across a wide range of assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex lock nut is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial fastening applications where a reliable thread lock is required without adhesives or split washers. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, panel assemblies, pipe support bracketing, and structural connections where standard 3\/8-16 UNC threaded fasteners are specified. The right-hand thread direction is consistent with the vast majority of standard threaded hardware applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistorted-thread locking style resists loosening from vibration without additional locking hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry to mildly humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction matches standard threaded bolt and stud stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16-inch width across flats fits standard hex wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-installation hex lock nut for any assembly using 3\/8-16 UNC threaded bolts or studs requiring a distorted-thread locking nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall with a standard 9\/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before threading the nut. Because the distorted-thread design creates intentional interference, slightly higher installation torque is normal compared to a standard hex nut. Do not reuse distorted-thread lock nuts after removal, as the locking effectiveness may be reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\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\u003eLocking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Distorted Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two-Way Lock Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches\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\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: R50000351\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698245009714,"sku":"R50000351","price":1333.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/259a1e5ed2193196d2366c220e86f626.jpg?v=1788359975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r50000351-hex-lock-nut-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
