KEP NUT 8-32 UNC- SS, A2

Kep Nut, (also called K-lock nut or Washer nut), is a nut with an attached , free-spinning washer. It is used to make assembly more convenient. The locking action is achieved when the nut is tightened against a bearing surface as the teeth of the lock washer dig into it.

Kep nuts increase the gripping power compared to standard hex nuts. This ensures that all the bolts remain securely attached, even during periods of intense vibration or heavy usage. These nuts also helps to reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need for frequent re-tightening or replacement bolts due to loosening over time.
