These locknuts are about half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts. Use them in light duty low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use.

Zinc-plated steel locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

These locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. They're about half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use.

An irregularly shaped thread at the top of the nut grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. They thread on from the bottom of the nut, allowing more threads to engage the bolt before tightening for easier installation than center-lock distorted thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. They're not reusable. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.

Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.

Black-oxide locknuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments and blend in with dark surfaces.

Black-phosphate, zinc-plated, and zinc yellow-chromate-plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Zinc-flake-coated locknuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated and zinc yellow-chromate plated locknuts.

Cadmium-plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments and have good lubricity, so they thread on smoothly.

Threads at the top of these locknuts 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 the threads. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts.

Cadmium-plated steel locknuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments. The plating adds lubricity, so they thread on smoothly.

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction. 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. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts. A cadmium yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments and adds lubricity so they thread on smoothly.

Secure these hex slotted nuts by inserting a cotter pin or safety wire through the slots and a drilled hole in your bolt for mild loosening resistance. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin is prone to shearing under prolonged stress. Height includes the slots. Cotter pins are not included. They're zinc plated to resist corrosion in wet environments.
