These slotted nuts feature precision-cut locking grooves that prevent loosening under extreme vibration, with a full-height design providing maximum thread engagement. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine and chemical environments while maintaining consistent clamping force. Three important uses: 1) Marine engine components exposed to salt spray and constant vibration. 2) Heavy industrial machinery like compressors and pumps subject to cyclical loads. 3) Structural applications in coastal buildings requiring positive locking. The nuts are compatible with standard castellated pins and include chamfered edges to prevent thread damage during installation.
