It is used as trailer brake actuator hardware, securing components in the actuator assembly against loosening from vibration and repeated cycling during towing. The hex head allows the nut to be tightened and removed with a standard wrench or socket, and the lock feature is designed to hold torque over time rather than backing off under load. At 0.03 pounds, it is a small, lightweight fastener meant to be paired with the correct matching stud or bolt of the same 1\/2-20 thread pitch. This is a genuine Dexter part, identified by part number 006-256-00, intended as a direct replacement when the original hex lock nut on a trailer brake actuator is worn, corroded, or missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 006-256-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex Lock Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuator Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106151186120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is the Dexter 006-256-00 hex lock nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is threaded 1\/2-20, so it should be paired with a stud or bolt of the same 1\/2-20 thread pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does this lock nut have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 006-256-00 hex lock nut is zinc plated for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Dexter 006-256-00 a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is a genuine Dexter hex lock nut, identified by part number 006-256-00.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this hex lock nut used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 006-256-00 is used as trailer brake actuator hardware, securing components in the actuator assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Dexter 006-256-00 hex lock nut weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.03 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size wrench or socket do I need to install the Dexter 006-256-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a standard hex head, so it can be tightened or removed with a wrench or socket sized to its hex flats; the Dexter 006-256-00 does not require any special tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dexter 006-256-00 come with the matching bolt or stud?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Dexter 006-256-00 is the hex lock nut only; the matching 1\/2-20 stud or bolt is a separate component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use a lock nut instead of a standard hex nut on a trailer brake actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e A lock nut such as the Dexter 006-256-00 is designed to resist loosening from vibration and repeated cycling, which is important on trailer brake actuator hardware that sees ongoing movement during towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Dexter 006-256-00 hex lock nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this Dexter hex lock nut is 106151186120.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Dexter 006-256-00 be reused after removal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Lock nuts like the Dexter 006-256-00 are generally intended to be replaced once removed, since the locking feature can lose effectiveness after repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991256281307,"sku":"DEX-006-256-00","price":1.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dic-1861200_lg__28644.1558140685.500.750.jpg?v=1785329085","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/1-2-20-zinc-plated-hex-lock-nut-for-trailer-brake-actuators-mpn-006-256-00","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
