FAQs

What is the primary function of the nylon insert?

The nylon insert provides a frictional resistance to loosening, which increases the nut's grip.

What size bolt does this nut fit?

The Forgefix Nylon Lock Nut is designed to fit M12 bolts.

Is zinc plating beneficial?

Yes, zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the nut.

Can these nuts be reused?

While the nuts can be reused, the locking effectiveness may be reduced after each use. Consider replacement for critical applications.

What is the recommended torque for installation?

The torque specifications depend on the application. Consult the bolt manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate torque.

Where can these nuts be used?

These nuts are best suited for any fastening application where vibration is present. This is common in machinery and automotive applications.

Troubleshooting

Nut is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed, and make sure that you are using the correct size.
