Hex Lock Nut: Distorted Thread, 3/8-16, Grade 2 Steel, Zinc-Plated MPN:R50000351

The hex lock nut is designed to prevent accidental loosening or vibrations that could cause undesirable movement in mechanical assemblies, making it a valuable asset in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. Made of grade 2 steel and zinc-plated for enhanced durability, this nut offers strength and resistance against corrosion. The 3/8-inch-16 size makes it versatile enough to be used with various fasteners in many applications that require secure, fixed points of connection. With a distorted thread design, the hex lock nut tightens down on the mating nut rather than the adjacent hardware; hence allowing for smooth, flush surfaces free of gaps or protruding parts when tightened correctly, thus reducing snags and possible damage during operation.
