What is a K nut?
A jet nut, also known as a k-nut, is a special type of hex lock nut. It has a flange on one end of the nut, the hex is
smaller than a standard sized hex nut, and it is shorter than a standard hex nut.
How do K nuts work?
K Lock Nuts Feature a conical external tooth washer attached to the bottom of the nut. This integrated lock washer bites into the surface material, providing increased breakaway torque and decreased likelihood of the nut loosening.
Can you reuse K nuts?
They have a self-locking mechanism built-in, meaning they can be used and reused many times. They do not require any additional components and are designed to remain in place whether they are fully tightened down.
