It is a nut with a\nnylon collar insert that resists turning. The plastic insert is placed at the\nend of the nut, and its inner diameter (ID) is slightly smaller than the major\ndiameter of the screw. The insert deforms elastically over the threads of the\nscrew, but threads are not cut into the nylon. The nylon insert locks the nut\nby friction against the screw under the applied radial compressive force.\nNyloc nuts retain their locking ability up to 250 °F (121 °C). Authorities\ndisagree on whether nyloc nuts should be reused. For example, Carroll Smith\n(Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners, and Plumbing Handbook) notes that the\nnylon insert is not damaged by installation and therefore they can be reused\nmany times ,and a Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular allows\nnuts to be reused if the prevailing torque is within specification. However,\nan Air Force Technical Order requires replacement of self-locking nuts in\ncritical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFor use with an externally threaded item that measures 3\/8 inch and has 16 threads per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePackage contains 25 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHeight: .446\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eHex Socket Drive 9\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance in most environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"BCP Fasteners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41334721904820,"sku":"B07KGLDVCR","price":141.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/products\/B07KGLDVCR.jpg?v=1648564586","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/25-qty-3-8-16-stainless-steel-nylon-insert-hex-lock-nuts-bcp588","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
