Description
Overview:
These UNF Nylon Insert Locking Nuts in 5/16" (approximately 7.94 mm) are hexagonal steel nuts with a nylon insert that grips the mating thread to resist loosening from vibration. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer reliable corrosion resistance for use on site, in the workshop, and outdoors. With a 5/16-24 UNF fine thread, they are well suited to assemblies that need stable clamp loads and a tidy, low-profile fixing. Commonly used across construction equipment, garden machinery, trailers, automotive repairs, generators and pumps, they provide a simple way to secure UNF bolts and studs. Supplied in a pack of 100 for efficient stocking and repeat maintenance tasks. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 903 0622 for easy identification.

Typical Applications:
Ideal for securing guards, brackets, covers, and mountings on construction plant, lawn tractors, mowers, compact tractors, compressors, generators, pumps, trailers, and automotive components. Often used where vibration is present, such as engine bays, chassis fixings, linkages, and rotating equipment housings, to keep joints tight without additional thread-locking compounds.
