The Multiquip WK34717 Nyloc Nut 6mm is a genuine OEM fastener designed for GA2.5HR and GAC2.5HR gasoline-powered generators and GAW180HE series arc welders. As a direct OEM replacement, WK34717 meets the original design specifications set by Multiquip, ensuring the fastener delivers the same locking performance and thread engagement as the part it replaces. This nut is a straightforward drop-in replacement that keeps your generator or welder properly secured and operating as intended. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, you can order with confidence knowing you are getting the correct part.
Key Features
- Nylon Insert Locking: The nylon collar grips the bolt thread and resists loosening under the vibration loads common to portable generators and welders.
- Genuine OEM Specification: Manufactured to the exact thread pitch, diameter, and material grade specified by Multiquip for the WK34717 application.
- Confirmed Fitment: Verified for GA2.5HR, GAC2.5HR, GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HEA models — use part number WK34717 to confirm your application.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: Matches the original 6mm fastener position exactly, so installation requires only standard hand tools.
- Fastener Integrity: A worn or missing locking nut can allow critical components to work loose, leading to misalignment or structural failure — replacing with a correct OEM nut restores proper clamping force.
A nyloc nut is a standard hex nut with a nylon insert bonded into the top of the nut. When threaded onto a bolt, the nylon collar deforms slightly around the threads, creating resistance that prevents the nut from backing off due to vibration or dynamic loads. This makes nyloc nuts a preferred fastener in engine-driven equipment like generators and welders, where constant vibration would cause a standard nut to loosen over time. A missing or damaged nyloc nut compromises the clamp load at its joint, which can lead to loose panels, misaligned components, or accelerated wear at the fastening point.
