NTNC04Z - 1/4"Zinc Plated Nylon Insert Lock Nuts

Nylon lock nuts differ from a standard hex nut in that they have a nylon insert secured within the nut. The nylon insert is located in a tapered section located at the back of the nut. When you install the nylon lock nut onto a bolt or threaded stud, the nylon insert wraps around the threads and locks the nut in place. This gives a nylon lock nut a distinct advantage over a lock washer when the bolt or threaded stud is subject to vibration, as the nylon lock nut is unaffected by vibration. Our 1/4" Zinc Plated Nylon Lock Nuts are Coarse thread for bolts with 20 threads per inch.
