Value Collection 42404 Hex Nut M8 X 1.25 Class 8 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42404 is a metric hex nut designed for general fastening applications in mechanical, industrial, and trade assembly work. It features an M8 x 1.25 thread size with a right-hand thread direction and is manufactured to DIN 934 standards. The nut is produced from Class 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments. At 13 millimeters across the flats and 6.5 millimeters in height, it is a standard-profile hex nut suitable for use with M8 fasteners across a wide range of structural and equipment assembly tasks. Installation requires a standard 13 mm wrench or socket.

This hex nut is used wherever M8 threaded fastening is required, including HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical fabrication. The zinc-plated Class 8 steel construction makes it appropriate for light to moderate load applications in non-corrosive or mildly corrosive environments. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance personnel during equipment installation and repair work.

Installation Notes

Install using a 13 mm open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening components on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Do not exceed the rated load capacity for Class 8 hardware. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid galling or cross-threading.
