The 3126242 Lock Nut SM-M 25x1,5 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for Elite 5500 and PowrLiner 4500/5500 airless sprayers. This metric lock nut features a 25mm diameter thread with 1.5mm pitch (M25x1.5) and incorporates an integral locking mechanism—typically a nylon insert or deformed thread—that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loads.
Lock nuts are essential in applications where components are subject to continuous vibration from pump operation, motor rotation, and equipment movement. Unlike standard nuts, lock nuts maintain clamping force even when subjected to shock and vibration, preventing fasteners from backing off and causing component misalignment, fluid leaks, or mechanical failure.
This genuine lock nut is manufactured to exact factory specifications for thread class, material grade, and locking torque. Using the correct lock nut ensures proper preload, maintains joint integrity, and prevents damage to mating threads. A worn, stripped, or damaged lock nut can compromise safety and lead to costly repairs. Replacing with this genuine part restores secure fastening and reliable operation.

When replacing lock nuts, it's good practice to inspect these related components.
Inspect mating bolts for thread damage, stretch, or wear. Replace if necessary.
Check washers for deformation or crushing. Replace to maintain proper clamping.
Inspect surfaces for damage or debris that could affect proper seating.
