Chrome Plated Steel Lock Nut, 1/2"-13 (Pack of 25)

Lock Nuts are commonly used when spinning of components would be a problem. They are designed to interlock with the locking surface for a secure hold, without slippage. Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench.The steel used in these fasteners has a tensile strength ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch). Chrome Plating helps to prevent corrosion. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

• Lock Nuts ensure a secure hold; reduce slippage
• Chrome Plated Steel fasteners are suitable where strength, corrosion resistance and aesthetics are primary considerations
• Drive system is a hexagon-shaped head
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
• Ensure a lasting hold for any project
