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.

ISO 4035 nuts are functionally the same as DIN 439B nuts (sometimes called DIN 439-2), but have slightly different width tolerances. These nuts have chamfered edges that make them less sharp than DIN 936 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.

ISO 4035 nuts are functionally the same as DIN 439 nuts but have slightly different width tolerances. This ISO spec replaces the DIN spec, however DIN 439 is still a common reference point. These nuts have chamfered edges.

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.

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.

With threads that tighten to the left and made of 316 stainless steel, these nuts won’t loosen from counterclockwise motion in saltwater and corrosive environments. They’re half the height of standard hex nuts, so they fit where there’s low clearance. Sometimes called jam nuts, you can also jam them against standard nuts to hold them in place when fastening machines and equipment.

All metric nuts meet DIN standards and some also meet ISO standards, which means they adhere to strict dimensional and material requirements. While DIN is no longer active, it's often referenced for compatibility.

Made from brass, these metric nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. About half the height of standard hex nuts, they are useful in low-clearance applications but have less tensile strength. Also known as jam nuts, they help prevent loosening from vibration when tightened in pairs. Two nuts jammed together also function as a gripping point on a threaded rod, so you can turn the rod without damaging the threads.

Nickel-plated brass nuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

DIN 439B nuts are chamfered, so their edges are less sharp than DIN 936 nuts. DIN 439B was replaced by ISO 4035 but remains a common reference point. The ISO standard has slightly different tolerances for width.

These nuts tighten to the left and won’t loosen from counterclockwise motion. Made from brass, they resist corrosion, conduct electricity, and are nonmagnetic. They’re half the height of standard hex nuts, so they’re good for use in low-clearance areas. Jam them against another nut to hold them in place. When used with a standard hex nut, they’re suitable for fastening most equipment.

Nuts that meet DIN 439B comply with international standards for dimensions and materials. Although no longer active, this standard is often referenced for compatibility.

With a shorter hex height than standard DIN 985 locknuts, these nylon-insert locknuts meet international ISO 10511 dimensional standards and are easy to install in tight spaces. The nylon insert grips the bolt thread to keep them from loosening without damaging the threads, so they're good for use on machinery and equipment that's prone to vibration. These locknuts can be removed and reinstalled; however, their holding power weakens with each use. Use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Made of zinc-plated steel, they won't corrode in wet environments.

Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these thumb nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. The flange distributes the load over a large area and reduces stress where the nut meets the material surface. A knurled head provides a slip-resistant grip for controlled adjustment.

Passivated stainless steel nuts provide added protection against oxidation and corrosion.

Two-thirds the height of typical square nuts and made of stainless steel, these metric nuts are designed for use in low-clearance applications in humid, damp, and washdown environments. They’re often called square jam nuts because they can be jammed together to hold each other in place. They’re easily gripped with a wrench due to their flat, broad sides, which also prevent them from rotating in channels and square holes. Compared to hex nuts, a greater area is in contact with the fastened surface. And compared to steel nuts, they’re slightly less strong.

These nuts meet DIN 562, an international standard that signifies their material and dimensions are compatible with other products and tools.
