{"product_id":"half-nut-bright-steel","title":"HALF NUT BRIGHT STEEL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA bright steel half nut (also known as a jam nut or lock nut) is a low-profile hexagonal fastener. Roughly half the height of a standard nut, it is primarily tightened against a standard nut to lock it in place and prevent loosening, or used in tight spaces where a standard nut won't fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe normal (standard) thread direction for nuts is right-handed. This means the nut tightens by turning it clockwise (to the right) and loosens by turning it counterclockwise (to the left), widely remembered by the rule \"righty tighty, lefty loosey\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisual Identification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight-Hand Threads (Standard): If you look at the internal threads of a nut or the external threads of a bolt, they will slope upward and to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeft-Hand Threads (Reverse): If the threads slope upward and to the left, it is a left-hand thread. These are only used in specialty applications (like bicycle pedals or rotating machinery) to prevent the part from loosening during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SRB Steel \u0026 Hardware Supplies","offers":[{"title":"UNF 5\/8\" RH THREAD","offer_id":47684332880066,"sku":"58NFBRTLN","price":2.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6335\/8914\/files\/UNFHALFNITBRI.jpg?v=1779343830","url":"https:\/\/www.srbindustrialsupplies.com\/products\/half-nut-bright-steel","provider":"SRB INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
