Frequently Asked Questions

Can Sirius locking nuts be reused?

Nylon insert lock nuts from Sirius can typically be reused several times provided the nylon insert remains intact and continues to provide adequate resistance during installation. However, for critical applications, it's recommended to use new locking nuts to ensure maximum security.

What's the difference between nylon insert and all-metal locking nuts?

Nylon insert lock nuts feature a polymer ring that grips the bolt threads, offering excellent vibration resistance up to approximately 120°C. All-metal locking nuts use deformed threads or other mechanical means for locking and can withstand much higher temperatures, making them suitable for automotive exhaust systems and industrial heating applications.

Are Sirius locking nuts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, when specified with appropriate corrosion-resistant finishes such as galvanised or stainless steel construction, Sirius locking nuts perform excellently in outdoor and marine environments, providing long-term fastening security against the elements.
