Detail & Specs
Metric Free-Spinning Washer Nut / Stainless Steel Black Oxide
Spin Nuts turn freely during install until the conical washer is compressed against the mating surface as the nut is tightened. The locking tension created by the compressed washer helps prevent the nut from loosening during vibration while distributing the locking force over a larger surface area.
Reusable, offer a one-piece solution versus using a separate lock washer and a nut.
Material: Stainless Steel
Suitable for damp locations
Corrosion resistant
Finish: Black Oxide
- Abrasion resistant, does not peel, chip or rub off
- Reduces friction, prevents galling
- Does not change the strength of the stainless steel
- Practically no dimensional change to base fastener
- The spray applied during the coating process wears off over time, revealing an attractive matte black finish
The black oxide coating per MIL-DTL-13924, Class 4 on 300 series corrosion resistant steel meets 96 hours of resistance in a 5% salt spray (fog) test in accordance with ASTM B117. We recommend using stainless steel installation tools to prevent extraneous rust.
Also known as metric hex nut with non-removable captivated / captive washer.
