Vulcan NS-031-50 Hex Lock Nut Nylon Insert 6-32 Stainless

Product Description

The VULCAN NS-031-50 is a 6-32 hex lock nut with a nylon insert, manufactured in stainless steel for use in commercial foodservice equipment applications. The nylon insert provides positive locking action, preventing the nut from backing off under vibration or repeated thermal cycling — a common condition in commercial cooking and HVAC-adjacent service environments. This fastener is a genuine VULCAN replacement part intended for use by qualified service technicians during routine maintenance or component replacement on VULCAN commercial appliances.

This lock nut is used in commercial kitchen and foodservice equipment where secure, vibration-resistant fastening is required. Stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments exposed to heat, moisture, and cleaning agents. Technicians servicing VULCAN commercial ranges, ovens, fryers, and related equipment will encounter this fastener during panel removal, component swap-outs, and general reassembly procedures.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size for compatibility with standard machine screw fastener systems
• Nylon insert provides vibration-resistant locking without thread damage
• Hex body style allows installation with standard hex drivers and wrenches
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in high-heat and high-moisture environments
• Genuine VULCAN replacement part for commercial appliance service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for VULCAN commercial appliances and foodservice equipment where a 6-32 hex lock nut with nylon insert is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified service technician familiar with VULCAN commercial equipment. Power down and de-energize the appliance completely before beginning any fastener service or panel removal. Use a hex driver or appropriately sized wrench to seat the nut without over-torquing, which can damage the nylon insert and compromise the locking function. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service documentation during reassembly.
