The Unifix Class 10 Nylon Insert Nuts P Type DIN 982 are engineered for DIY enthusiasts and professional engineers who require a reliable, vibration-resistant fastening solution for M16 hardware. Their primary benefit is the integrated nylon collar that locks the nut in place, effectively preventing loosening during operation; however, it is important to note that these nuts are typically intended for single-use applications as the nylon insert loses its locking integrity after being removed and re-installed.

It is generally not recommended. The nylon insert deforms upon first installation, which is what creates the lock; reusing it significantly reduces the locking torque.
Class 10 refers to the mechanical strength property of the steel, indicating it is a high-tensile fastener suitable for high-stress applications.
The BZP coating provides corrosion resistance for general use, but they are not stainless steel and may rust if constantly exposed to saltwater or harsh chemical environments.
These nuts typically require a standard 24mm spanner or socket for M16 size hardware.
No. The nylon insert is a plastic component that will melt or lose its structural integrity if exposed to high temperatures.
Verify that you are using an M16 x 2.00 bolt and that the threads are clean and free of debris or cross-threading.
Ensure the bolt is long enough for the threads to fully pass through the nylon insert; if not, the locking feature will not engage.
To install, thread the nut onto the bolt until the bolt end reaches the nylon collar. Use a standard spanner or socket wrench to tighten until the required torque is achieved. Because these are M16 x 2.00 nuts, they are only compatible with bolts sharing the same metric pitch. When performing maintenance, if you disassemble a joint, it is best practice to replace the nylon insert nut with a new one to guarantee that the locking mechanism remains effective. Store in a dry environment to prevent premature degradation of the plating.
