Description
Hex Lock Nuts NU Nylon Inserts 18/8 Stainless 3/8-16 combine the reliability of a standard hex nut with the locking action of a nylon insert. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, these nuts resist corrosion in harsh environments while the nylon insert prevents loosening under vibration, delivering secure fastening in demanding applications.
