Forgefix FPNYLOC12SS Nyloc Nuts & Washers A2 Stainless Steel M12 Forgepack 6

The Forgefix Nyloc Hexagonal Nuts are made from A2 stainless steel and incorporate a nylon component to effectively lock the nut into position on the bolt. The nylon component has a smaller inside diameter than the actual nut. 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. Their hexagonal shape is designed to be driven by a wrench (spanner) and provides excellent torque when done so. Stainless Steel does not corrode rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does but despite the name it is not fully stain-proof most notably under low oxygen high salinity or poor circulation environments. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are required. APPLICATION: Where a permanent fastening is required and loose
