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 Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

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 Although the DIN 936 standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

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.
