Applications and selection
Assemblies that specify a higher-body nylon-insert nut.
Provide the nut height, thread, property requirements and operating conditions. The insert material and its suitability must be confirmed for the application.

Materials, surface finishes and standards
Materials for this series: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel. Surface finishes: Zinc Plated, Plain. Compatibility between the grade, finish and operating environment needs to be confirmed.
For titanium, nickel alloy or other non-ferrous requirements, include the exact material grade and drawing. Required mechanical properties, inspection documents and traceability should be stated in the inquiry.
Related U.S. references for prevailing-torque locknuts. Confirm insert material, nut height and service temperature. Standards from different systems can vary in dimensions, threads, product scope and test requirements. Confirm the exact designation and edition in the quotation.

United States references for a separate inquiry: ASME B18.16.6 (inch); ASME B18.16.7M (metric). Confirm the exact form, thread system and drawing before quoting.
What to send for a quotation
- Nylon Lock Thick Nuts or your part number, with the relevant standard and edition.
- Exact dimensions, thread details, quantity and any critical tolerances.
- Material grade, surface finish, inspection requirements and delivery destination.
- For customization, a drawing revision and a description of the mating assembly.
Common questions about nylon lock thick nuts
Why specify a thick rather than a thin nylon-insert nut?
The higher-body geometry may be required by the drawing or mechanical specification. Check the actual engagement, dimensions and clearance rather than selecting by appearance.
Can I request a size or material outside this listing?
Yes. Send the required dimensions and exact material grade for review. A quotation is needed to confirm feasibility, price and lead time.
