The nut measures 0.25 inches thick and is designed to thread onto a 7\/16-20 stud or bolt while resisting loosening from vibration, a common requirement on trailer running gear and brake components. The zinc plating provides a protective, corrosion-resistant surface suited to the exposed conditions trailer hardware typically sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a small, precise replacement fastener rather than a full kit, making it useful when a single nut is lost, damaged, or worn during trailer brake actuator service or maintenance. At just 0.01 pounds, it ships easily alongside other small hardware items.\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 006-257-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex Lock Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 inches\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 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is the Dexter 006-257-00 hex lock nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 006-257-00 is sized for a 7\/16-20 thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this nut a locking style or a standard hex nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a hex lock nut, part number 006-257-00, designed to resist loosening under vibration rather than a plain hex nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow thick is the 006-257-00 nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 inches thick, which is the full thickness of this Dexter hex lock nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does this nut have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a zinc-plated finish, giving the Dexter 006-257-00 added corrosion resistance for exposed trailer hardware use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this nut typically used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 006-257-00 hex lock nut is used as hardware for trailer brake actuators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this nut weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds, reflecting the small size of the Dexter 006-257-00 hex lock nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order just one nut, or does it only come in a kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 006-257-00 is sold as an individual hex lock nut, useful when only a single replacement fastener is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Dexter 006-257-00 genuine Dexter hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 006-257-00 is a genuine Dexter hex lock nut, not a generic substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this nut resist corrosion in wet or road-salt conditions?\u003c\/strong\u003e The zinc plating on the Dexter 006-257-00 is intended to protect against corrosion, which suits the exposed conditions trailer brake actuator hardware is often subjected to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tool do I need to install the 006-257-00 nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e As a standard 7\/16-20 hex lock nut, the 006-257-00 installs with a wrench or socket sized to its hex head, matching typical hardware installation for trailer brake actuator components.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991256346843,"sku":"DEX-006-257-00","price":1.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dic-2339100_lg__12952.1558140850.500.750.jpg?v=1785329085","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-006-257-00-hex-lock-nut-7-16-20-zinc-plated-trailer-brake-actuator-nut","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
