Value Collection R52001685 Hex Lock Nut 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001685 is a nylon insert hex lock nut designed for threaded fastening applications requiring vibration resistance. Manufactured from Grade B steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion protection, this 1/4-20 UNC nut measures 5/16 inches high with a 7/16-inch width across flats. The nylon insert locks against the mating thread to prevent loosening under dynamic loads. It features a right-hand thread direction and is sized to standard UNC tolerances. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors use this type of fastener where a secure, reusable locking nut is required.

This nylon insert hex lock nut is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial mechanical installations. Typical applications include equipment mounting, panel assembly, ductwork hardware, and general structural fastening where vibration or movement could cause a standard nut to back off. The 1/4-20 thread size is among the most commonly encountered fastener sizes in trade work. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking, service van inventory, or project procurement.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 7/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies. The nylon insert is intended for single or limited-use applications — inspect the insert for deformation before reuse. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for torque and fastener requirements in the specific assembly.
