Value Collection SNI2025-100BX Slotted Hex Lock Nut 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SNI2025-100BX is a slotted hex lock nut designed for general-purpose fastening applications requiring a secure, vibration-resistant thread engagement. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright uncoated finish, this nut follows UNC thread standards at 1/4-20. It measures 7/32 inches in height and 7/16 inches across the flats, making it a compact fastener suited to light-to-medium duty assemblies. The slotted design allows for use with a cotter pin or safety wire to prevent loosening under dynamic loads. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, contractors, and trade professionals working across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel assemblies.

This slotted hex lock nut is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread fastener is required with added locking capability. Typical install scenarios include securing brackets, panels, junction boxes, equipment mounts, and light structural assemblies. The bright uncoated finish is suited to indoor or protected environments where corrosion exposure is minimal. This nut is sold in a box quantity of 100 pieces.
