3/8"-16 NTE Nylon Insert Locknuts / Thin Style / 18-8 Stainless Steel

3/8"-16 nylon insert lock nut in Stainless Steel. For resisting vibration loosening; the nylon ring grips the thread.

• NTE — THIN NYLON INSERT LOCK NUT — the THIN series in fractional inch, for tight clearance. A thin nut carries materially less clamp load than a standard one, so do not substitute it into a joint designed around full height
• THIN HEIGHT — a reduced-height nut for tight clearance; it carries less clamp load than a full height nut, so do not substitute it blindly
• NYLON INSERT — TEMPERATURE LIMIT — the insert is good to roughly 250°F (120°C); above that the nylon softens and the locking function goes with it. Reuse is limited — the ring loses grip after a few cycles
• STAINLESS STEEL — corrosion resistant through the whole section, not just the surface — a scratch does not start a rust bloom
• COARSE THREAD (UNC) — the default inch thread — faster to run down, more tolerant of dirt, damage and plating build-up
