Hex Lock Nut: Insert, Nylon Insert, 5/16-24, Grade 2 Steel, Zinc-Plated MPN:MP34283

Buford Manufacturing's high-strength Hex Lock Nut is manufactured from carbon steel (Grade 2) and finished with zinc plating to protect against rust and corrosion, ensuring lasting performance under tough conditions. Its nylon insert locking mechanism secures the nut in place without losing grip on the threaded part while preventing loosening even when subjected to vibration or sudden shocks. A flattened six-sided head facilitates easy use with standard tools such as screwdrivers and spanners, reducing the chance of over tightening that causes damaged threads or stripped screwheads. The nut's tight-fitting and tamper-resistant properties make it suitable for multiple applications, including but not limited to machinery, construction equipment, vehicles assembly, heavy industrial workplaces where critical bolting systems must hold firmly without compromise, ensuring secure fastening during critical operations or maintenance procedures.
