They are made to DIN 934, so every dimension is the standard one and they take an ordinary metric spanner or socket alongside any matching coarse thread screw or threaded rod. Stainless means they can go outdoors or anywhere damp without rusting, which the usual zinc plated hardware store nut cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eSize chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"nznpd__tbl\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread pitch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAcross flats\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAcross corners\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.01 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.66 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.79 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eType\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlain hex nut, full height\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eStandard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIN 934\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISO metric coarse, right hand\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSizes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM2, M3, M4, M5\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMaterial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFinish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBare stainless, no coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDrive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHexagon, 4.0 to 8.0 mm across flats\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSold as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePriced per nut\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"nznpd__block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"nznpd__h\"\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__included\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nznpd__qty\"\u003e1×\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetric hex nut, in the size you select\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrice is per nut.
