About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

These nuts tighten when turned to the left. Use them with left-hand rods and screws to prevent counterclockwise-moving parts from loosening. About half the height of standard-profile nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against another hex nut to hold it in place.

Apply extra torque to these nuts to prevent accidental loosening. Twist them on by hand, then crank with a wrench for a tight fit. The flange distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. These nuts are often used to secure screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts.

These locknuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.
