Engineered to provide a strong grip and maintain consistent clamping force, this M10 nylon insert nut is ideal for both professional and DIY use. The zinc-plated finish enhances corrosion resistance, while the nylon insert ensures long-lasting, secure fastening.

This pack includes 8 M10 nuts, making it a cost-effective choice for small to medium-sized projects requiring robust vibration-resistant components.

Key Features and Benefits

Nylon Locking Insert
Provides additional friction against bolt threads, effectively preventing loosening due to vibration or movement.

Zinc-Plated Steel Finish
Offers improved corrosion resistance for use in indoor or lightly exposed environments.

Standard Metric Size – M10
Compatible with M10 bolts, screws, and threaded rods. Ideal for use in machinery, automotive, or construction.

Hexagonal Profile
Designed for ease of installation using standard spanners, wrenches, or sockets.

Reusable in Non-Critical Applications
While not intended for repeated reuse in structural situations, these nuts can be reused in light-duty tasks depending on wear of the nylon insert.

Compact Pack of 8
Suitable for tasks requiring a limited number of locking nuts without waste or excess.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

Securing bolts in vibration-prone environments

Assembly of machinery and mechanical components

Automotive and trailer applications

Furniture construction and flat-pack assembly

General-purpose repairs, maintenance, and DIY projects

Installation Advice

Use a spanner or socket wrench to tighten.

Avoid over-tightening, as this may degrade the nylon insert.

Ensure the nylon insert is engaged fully with bolt threads to maximize locking capability.

For critical safety or structural applications, use new nuts rather than reused ones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What size bolt does this nut fit?

These nuts are designed for M10 bolts, screws, or threaded rods with a 10mm nominal diameter.

Q2: How does the nylon insert work?

The nylon ring deforms around the bolt threads when tightened, creating additional friction that prevents the nut from backing off due to vibration or movement.

Q3: Can I reuse these nuts?

They can be reused a limited number of times in non-critical applications. Each reuse wears the nylon insert, reducing its effectiveness. For important or structural tasks, a new nut is recommended.

Q4: Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc plating offers light to moderate corrosion resistance, making them suitable for dry outdoor or indoor environments. For long-term outdoor exposure, consider stainless steel variants.

Q5: Can I use washers with these nuts?

Yes, flat washers can help distribute load or protect surfaces. However, locking washers are not required since the nylon insert provides anti-loosening performance.

Q6: Do these nuts work in high-temperature environments?

No. The nylon insert softens above approximately 120°C (248°F). For high-temperature applications, consider using all-metal lock nuts.

Q7: What tool should I use for installation?

A standard spanner, socket wrench, or impact driver can be used for installation and removal. Always check the torque recommendations for your application.

Conclusion

The Securpak Nylon Locking Nut ZP M10 – Pack of 8 provides a secure and effective fastening solution for both professional and DIY projects. With its integrated nylon locking mechanism and corrosion-resistant finish, this nut ensures consistent clamping force in applications that are subject to vibration or motion. It’s a versatile and reliable component for construction, mechanical, and automotive tasks.
