Value Collection R52001700 Hex Lock Nut 9/16-12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001700 is a distorted-thread hex lock nut designed for use in high-vibration fastening applications where thread locking without a separate insert or patch is required. Manufactured from Grade C steel with a clear cadmium plating, this nut measures 31/64 inches in height and 7/8 inches across the flats. It carries a 9/16-12 UNC thread with right-hand direction. The distorted-thread locking style creates mechanical resistance by deforming a portion of the thread profile, generating prevailing torque that resists loosening under dynamic loads. This nut is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and MRO professionals across general industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

This hex lock nut is suited for general-purpose bolted assemblies in industrial, OEM, and maintenance-repair-operations environments where vibration resistance is needed and reusability is acceptable. The 9/16-12 UNC thread size fits standard fractional-inch fastener systems. The clear cadmium finish provides corrosion protection appropriate for a range of service environments. This part does not meet military specifications and is intended for commercial and industrial use. It is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Distorted-thread locking style provides prevailing torque without an insert or adhesive
• Grade C steel construction for standard industrial load requirements
• Clear cadmium plating for corrosion resistance
• 9/16-12 UNC right-hand thread conforms to inch fastener standards
• 31/64 inches height and 7/8 inches width across flats for use with standard hex tooling
• Reusable locking nut suitable for maintenance and assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or assembly component for 9/16-12 UNC threaded fastener applications in general industrial, OEM, and MRO bolted assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with standard hex wrenches or sockets sized to 7/8 inches across the flats. De-energize or isolate equipment before performing any fastener service on live machinery. Distorted-thread lock nuts generate prevailing torque and may require higher installation torque than standard hex nuts. Do not reuse if the locking thread section is visibly worn or no longer provides resistance.
