Value Collection R52001699 Hex Lock Nut 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001699 is a distorted-thread hex lock nut designed for secure fastening in threaded assemblies. The distorted-thread locking style creates mechanical interference with the mating bolt thread, resisting loosening under vibration and dynamic loads without requiring a secondary locking element. This nut is manufactured from Grade C steel with a clear cadmium finish that provides corrosion resistance. The 1/2-13 UNC thread size and right-hand thread direction make it a standard choice for a wide range of industrial and mechanical assembly applications. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical assemblers specify this type of fastener where vibration-resistant hardware is required.

This hex lock nut is suited for general industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly applications where a 1/2-13 UNC thread is specified. It fits residential and commercial maintenance, equipment manufacturing, and field repair work. The right-hand thread direction is the most common standard orientation. The clear cadmium finish provides a degree of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and light-duty environments. This nut is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Distorted-thread locking style resists loosening without secondary hardware
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread — common standard size for broad compatibility
• Grade C steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Clear cadmium finish for corrosion resistance
• 7/16 inch height, 3/4 inch width across flats for standard hex tooling
• Conforms to inch system of measurement and UNC fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation hex lock nut for any 1/2-13 UNC threaded fastener application requiring a distorted-thread locking nut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 3/4 inch hex wrench or socket driver. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastened assemblies. Right-hand thread direction requires clockwise rotation to tighten. Do not reuse distorted-thread lock nuts after removal, as repeated cycling degrades the locking interference and reduces holding effectiveness.
