I use Nylok's all the time. But the Rohn supplied bolt is galvanized.
AFAIK, they don't make galvanized Nylok's. At least, McMaster doesn't

Does anyone have any experience with mating non-galvanized nuts with
galvanized bolts? That's a no no? I thought that they wouldn't fit due
to the excess zinc material, but I've never tried it. I suppose
I can also replace the bolt with non-galvanized.
