Description
Hex Lock Nuts NM NE Nylon Inserts 18/8 Stainless 8/36 are high-performance fasteners engineered for reliable locking and long-lasting corrosion resistance. The combination of a nylon insert and premium 18/8 stainless steel makes these hex lock nuts ideal for demanding environments where vibration or dynamic loads could loosen standard nuts.
- Locking performance: Nylon insert creates friction that resists loosening from vibrations and thermal cycling, providing a secure, lockable thread.
- Material: 18/8 stainless steel (AISI 304) offers excellent corrosion resistance and good strength in wet or outdoor applications.
- Design: Hex profile for easy wrench engagement and even torque distribution across the nut.
- Size: Thread size 8/36 (as specified in the product details).
- Versatile applications: Suitable for marine, automotive, machinery, outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and general fastener assemblies where nut-locking is essential.
