M10 Nyloc Nut, Nylon Insert Nut - T Type (Standard) - Grade 8 Steel - HDGV Galvanised, DIN 985

Corrosion Resistant Galvanised Nyloc Nut

M10 Nyloc nut with a nylon insert that grips the bolt thread, creating friction that resists loosening from vibration or movement and provides a locking action. The nylon insert also creates a seal against the ingress of liquids making this hex nut a versatile choice.

Manufactured from class 8 steel with a hot-dip galvanised finish that offers good corrosion resistance. This makes the nut particularly useful for applications where the fixing may encounter moisture, humidity, outdoor conditions, and construction environments.

Suitable for a wide range of engineering, construction, machinery, automotive and general fastening applications where vibration might be an issue.

Galvanised Nyloc Nut Frequently Asked Questions

What is a galvanised Nyloc nut?

The Nyloc nut is a self-locking hexagonal nut with a built-in nylon insert. The insert creates friction against the bolt thread which helps to prevent the nut from loosening in high vibration environments.

What is a galvanised nylon locking nut used for?

It is used to reduce the likelihood of a nut loosening due to vibration or movement. Common applications include machinery, automotive equipment, engineering assemblies and general construction.

Can nylon insert nuts be reused once removed?

Yes, but it’s not advised as the nylon insert gradually wears and the locking effectiveness diminishes with repeated use. 

Do I need a washer or spring washer with these nuts?

In most cases no, as the nylon insert itself provides locking action. Washers may still be used for load distribution if your job requires it.

Can I use galvanised nylon nuts in high-vibration applications?

Yes, the internal nylon collar grips the bolt threads, creating friction that resists loosening from vibration. This sees them used on automotive parts, and equipment where vibration is a consideration.
