What This Pack Contains
This pack provides eight nylon-insert lock nuts in a 1/4"-20 thread size. They are made from steel with a black chrome finish and are designed to resist loosening when exposed to vibration or torque. The nuts suit automotive, machinery and general assembly tasks where a secure fastening is required.
Build and Mounting Practicalities
The steel body gives the nuts strength for structural joints while the nylon insert creates prevailing torque that holds the fastener tight without additional locking hardware. Black chrome coating adds corrosion resistance for exposed or outdoor installations. Each nut installs with standard hand tools and the eight-piece quantity covers multiple connection points in a single purchase.
The Deciding Specification
The critical detail is the 1/4"-20 thread specification; the nuts only fit bolts or studs with that exact diameter and pitch. Buyers needing a different thread size, a larger quantity or a non-locking nut style will need a separate product.

Questions about this item
What thread size does the 1/4"-20 nylon insert lock nut fit?
The nut fits a 1/4"-20 thread, so it matches bolts or studs with a quarter-inch diameter and twenty threads per inch.
What physical clearance does the steel black chrome nut need to seat properly?
The hex body requires a wrench or socket that matches the standard 1/4"-20 hex width, and enough depth for the nylon insert to engage fully.
How is the nylon insert lock nut installed, and what step prevents it from working?
Thread the nut onto the bolt until the nylon insert grips the threads, then tighten with a wrench; skipping the final torque step leaves the insert uncompressed and the joint loose.
