Mil. Spec. Stainless Steel Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, they have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Threads at the top of the nut expand to grip the bolt on all sides for a stronger hold than distorted-thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. A silver plating adds lubricity so they thread on smoothly.

Stainless Steel Distorted-Thread Flange Locknuts

These flange locknuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. They have an irregularly shaped thread that grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert flange locknuts. A flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. These nuts may be mildly magnetic. Height includes the flange.
A286 stainless steel nuts cannot be reused.

Mil. Spec. Rivet-Mount Nuts




Create threads in hard-to-work areas—where you can’t reach the back of a workpiece, or material is too thin to be tapped. For a strong grip, these nuts have distorted threads that increase friction with bolts. Because they mount with two rivets, they won’t spin when you’re tightening screws. However, these nuts do move inside their retainers, which lets you install bolts at a slight angle; use them to align with off-center parts. All meet military guidelines for dimensions and material.
A286 stainless steel nuts are corrosion resistant. Silver-plated stainless steel nuts withstand temperatures up to 800° F. The silver plating also adds lubricity and prevents seizing caused by friction between nuts and bolts.
