Featuring a nylon insert that grips the bolt threads to prevent loosening under vibration or environmental stress, this nut is essential for long-lasting traffic sign installations across Ireland.

Designed for use in outdoor environments and fully compatible with TSM Chapter 8 and EN12899 standards, the Hex Nylon Nut is trusted by councils, contractors, and road maintenance teams nationwide.

Technical Review

The Hex Nylon Nut combines traditional hexagonal fastening with a built-in nylon locking collar, which applies resistance to the bolt threads and holds tight under wind load, vibration, and weather shifts. This self-locking action eliminates the need for additional locking washers, simplifying installation and improving sign safety.

Made from galvanised or stainless steel, the nut is built to resist corrosion even in coastal or high-moisture environments. It is used across Irish road networks for RSJ clip systems, backing rails, faceplates, and post-mounted signage.
