Value Collection SLFI8100CAD-010BX Hex Lock Nut 1-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SLFI8100CAD-010BX is a hex lock nut with a distorted thread locking style, designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. Made from Grade C steel with a clear cadmium finish, this nut provides corrosion resistance alongside reliable mechanical retention. It features a 1-14 UNF thread size with right-hand thread direction, a height of 7/8 inches, and a width across flats of 1-1/2 inches. It is installed by electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general mechanical trades wherever a secure, vibration-resistant threaded connection is required.

This hex lock nut is suited for industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications where standard hex nuts may back off due to vibration or cyclical loading. The distorted thread locking mechanism engages friction at the thread interface without requiring a separate locking insert or prevailing-torque patch, keeping the fastener profile compact. Typical installations include mechanical equipment mounting, structural fastening, and piping or conduit support assemblies where a UNF 1-14 thread is specified.

Key Features

• Distorted thread locking style resists loosening from vibration without a separate insert
• Grade C steel construction for solid mechanical strength
• Clear cadmium finish provides corrosion protection
• 1-14 UNF right-hand thread for compatibility with standard unified fine-thread fastener systems
• Height of 7/8 inches and width across flats of 1-1/2 inches for use with standard hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service hex lock nut for applications requiring a 1-14 UNF right-hand thread in inch-measurement fastener systems. Confirm thread pitch, material grade, and finish requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or trade personnel using standard hex wrenches or sockets sized for 1-1/2 inches across flats. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of damage before assembly. The distorted thread locking feature is a prevailing-torque style design and is generally intended for single-use or limited reuse applications — inspect threads before reinstalling a used nut. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant mechanical codes.
