The Genie 227918GT Nylock Nut, 1/2 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut is manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original hardware installed at the factory. Cross-reference part number 227918GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct fastener for your application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Material — Meets the dimensional and hardness specifications of the original hardware, ensuring consistent clamp load and thread engagement on your Genie telehandler.
- Nylon-Insert Locking Design — The nylon collar grips the mating thread and resists loosening under vibration, keeping fastened joints secure during operation.
- Exact 1/2-Inch Thread Fit — Sized to match the original specification, this nut installs directly without modification or re-tapping of the mating fastener.
- Genuine Genie OEM Part — Sourced directly from Genie, this nut carries full OEM traceability and is the correct replacement for GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers.
- Prevents Joint Failure — A loose or missing nut can allow structural or mechanical joints to shift under load; replacing worn or damaged hardware promptly keeps assemblies held to spec.
A Nylock nut is a standard hex nut fitted with a nylon insert that deforms around the mating thread when tightened, creating friction that resists self-loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. This locking action makes it a preferred fastener wherever joints are exposed to continuous movement or cyclical stress. When a Nylock nut is damaged, cross-threaded, or missing its nylon insert, it can no longer maintain the designed clamping force, which may allow the joint it secures to work loose over time. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the joint to its intended holding strength.
