Metric Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel, and are often used for light duty applications, such as securing access panels. Also known as jam nuts, they can be threaded together to form a locknut that won’t move or loosen due to vibration. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone. Made of steel, they’re best for dry environments, since moisture and chemicals will cause them to rust.
DIN 936 nuts are sometimes taller and wider than ISO 4035 nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Metric Fine-Thread Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts


These nuts are half the height of standard hex nuts, and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration. They are not compatible with coarse threads. Half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts, they are often used for light-duty applications, such as fastening signs in place.
Also known as jam nuts, they can be used in place of standard nuts when height clearances are tight, or threaded together to form a locknut. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod into place with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone.
Steel nuts are best for dry environments, since exposure to moisture and chemicals will cause them to rust.
Nuts that meet DIN 936 adhere to international standards for dimensions and material composition to ensure compatibility with other products and tools. Although the DIN 936 standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Some of these screws meet ISO and DIN dimensional standards.
Nuts with fine and extra-fine thread spacing are less likely to loosen from vibration than nuts with coarse thread spacing.
Zinc-plated and zinc yellow-chromate plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Nuts that meet ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) adhere to international standards for dimensions and material composition to ensure compatibility with other products and tools. Although the DIN 439B standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

Left-Hand Threaded Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts


These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Also known as jam nuts, they are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) nuts are chamfered, so their edges are less sharp than DIN 936 nuts. This new ISO standard is functionally the same as the DIN standard it replaced, with slightly different tolerances for width.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Useful in low-clearance applications, these metric nuts are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, but aren’t as strong. Commonly used as locknuts, threading a thin nut against any other hex nut prevents loosening caused by vibration. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading two of these thin nuts against each other on a threaded rod to create a gripping point for turning the rod without damaging its threads. All are 18-8 stainless steel, which is nearly as strong as steel but won’t rust in outdoor, washdown, and other corrosive environments.
DIN 936 nuts are sometimes taller and wider than ISO 4035 nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Metric Fine-Thread 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts


Made with fine-pitch threads, vibration is less likely to loosen these metric nuts than those with coarse-pitch threads since the threads sit closer together. Fine and coarse threads are not compatible. Also called jam nuts, they are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, so they’re good for applications with low clearance. However, they have less tensile strength than standard height nuts. Often used as locknuts, thread two against each other to further prevent loosening caused by vibration. You can also do this on a threaded rod, which creates a gripping point so you can turn it without damaging the threads. All are 18-8 stainless steel, which is almost as strong as steel but also won’t rust in outdoor, washdown, and other corrosive environments.
DIN 936 nuts are sometimes slightly taller and wider than DIN 439B nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 remains a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Left-Hand Threaded 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. They have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Also known as jam nuts, they are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place.

Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These metric nuts are made of 316 stainless steel and half as tall as regular hex nuts—use them around chemicals and salt water when space is limited. Also known as jam nuts, they can be tightened in pairs to prevent loosening from vibration. Jamming two of these nuts together can also create a gripping point on a threaded rod, letting you use a wrench to turn the rod without damaging the threads.
Nuts with fine and extra-fine threads are less likely to loosen from vibration than those with coarse threads. Fine and extra-fine threads aren’t compatible with coarse threads.
