MIDWEST FASTENER 34133 Lock Nuts

These MIDWEST FASTENER 34133 nuts use a nylon insert to resist loosening under vibration and torque. The 5/16"-24 thread fits matching bolts or studs in automotive and general hardware assemblies. A black chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a uniform appearance. The pack contains six pieces for small jobs or spares.

Mechanics and DIYers needing vibration-resistant

The nylon insert gives reliable prevailing torque without permanent thread damage, so the nuts can be removed and reused a few times. Builders who need a high-temperature locking method or a prevailing-torque nut rated for repeated reassembly should look at all-metal alternatives. Applications requiring a different thread pitch or diameter will need another part number.

Six-piece pack for light-duty use

Six nuts cover a single repair point or a small project with a few spares left over. The nylon insert works well at normal operating temperatures but loses grip above its melting point, so high-heat zones such as exhaust manifolds are outside its comfortable range. Larger jobs or preventive maintenance stocks will require multiple packs.

Questions about this item

What thread size and pitch do I need on the bolt or stud for these 5/16"-24 lock nuts to fit?

You need a 5/16 inch diameter bolt with 24 threads per inch for these nuts to engage correctly.

Will these steel black-chrome nuts gall or corrode when paired with my existing Grade 5 or stainless fasteners?

The black-chrome finish on steel resists corrosion and reduces galling when used with common Grade 5 or stainless hardware.

How do I confirm the nylon insert is still gripping after I torque the nut onto the bolt?

Turn the nut by hand after installation; resistance from the nylon insert shows it is locking as intended.
