This locks the nut in place by squeezing the nylon firmly around the bolt when tightened. Unlike a standard locking washer, the Nyloc nut prevents the nut from loosening under vibration as the nylon is tightly wedged into the bolt threads and provides resistance to turning when tightened.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe nuts are zinc-plated for increased resistance to corrosion. Their hexagonal shape is designed to be driven by a wrench (spanner) and provides excellent torque when done so.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAPPLICATION:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhere a permanent fastening is required and loosening must be prevented by movement or vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCan be used on most bolt products including HT Bolts, Carriage Bolts, Threaded Rod etc.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eZinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNyloc Nuts \u0026amp; Washers Zinc Plated M5 ForgePack 40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForgeFix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43637756887252,"sku":"FORFPNYL5","price":1.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/8057\/2604\/files\/FORFPNYL5.jpg?v=1747215415","url":"https:\/\/shopmtn.co.uk\/products\/forgefix-nyloc-nuts-washers-zinc-plated-m5-forgepack-40","provider":"MTN Shop UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
