Flanged Nylon Insert Nuts
Flanged nylon insert nuts, also known as Nyloc flange nuts offer great holding ability. The increased holding ability of these nuts is a combination of the flanged base and the nylon insert.
The flanged base of the nut is specifically designed to spread the load over a slightly wider surface area and reduce the need for a washer. In addition, the nylon insert adds additional pressure to the bolt which allows for a firmer hold. An added benefit of these nuts is that the nylon insert presses against the bolt which helps against the ingress of various liquids like oil, water, and petrol.
