Hexagon Nut Cap 6021-001211

This hexagon nut cap, also known as a nut cover cap, is a nylon-insulated cylindrical cap with left-hand threads and a 4mm thread size, for counterclockwise tightening. It is sourced from the original equipment manufacturer for use in ranges and microwave oven combos. The cap provides added security to prevent the hexagon nut that it rests on from coming loose during operation and causing component instability. Over time it is normal for the hex nut cap to wear down, become damaged, or for its threads to become stripped. To replace a faulty nut cap, use a socket or wrench to unthread it from the hex nut. Place the new cap in its position and secure it in place to complete the repair. It is recommended to replace the fastener at the same time for extended durability.
