Value Collection 5540 Hex Nut M24 X 3 316 Stainless Din 934

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5540 is a heavy hex nut machined to M24 x 3 thread specifications in Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel, classified as Grade A4 under the DIN 934 fastener standard. The right-hand metric thread and 36 mm across-flats dimension make this nut suitable for high-load bolted connections in corrosive environments. Grade 316 stainless provides superior resistance to chlorides and marine atmospheres compared to Grade 304. Delivered uncoated with a bright finish, this nut meets DIN 934 dimensional and mechanical requirements and is installed by millwrights, pipefitters, marine maintenance crews, and structural fabricators working with metric fastener assemblies.

This hex nut is designed for metric fastener assemblies requiring a corrosion-resistant material in applications such as marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, food-processing structures, and coastal or offshore installations. The M24 x 3 thread pitch is a standard coarse metric series, compatible with M24 bolts and threaded rod of matching pitch. It is appropriate for both structural and fluid-system clamping applications where stainless steel is specified by design or code requirements.

Key Features

• Grade 316 austenitic stainless steel provides strong chloride and corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• Grade A4 classification per DIN 934 ensures dimensional and mechanical compliance
• M24 x 3 right-hand metric coarse thread for use with standard M24 fasteners
• 36 mm across-flats width accommodates standard metric wrenches and sockets
• Bright uncoated finish requires no additional surface prep and maintains dimensional tolerance
• Lightweight at approximately 0.0024 pounds, suitable for single-piece or small-quantity use

Compatibility

Designed for use with M24 x 3 metric bolts, cap screws, and threaded rod conforming to DIN or ISO metric coarse thread standards. Verify mating fastener grade and material compatibility before installation in structural or pressure-containing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright, pipefitter, or mechanical technician familiar with metric fastener assemblies. Use a properly sized 36 mm metric wrench or socket to avoid rounding the flats. Isolate or de-energize any adjacent systems before working in confined mechanical assemblies. Do not mix stainless fasteners with carbon steel components in submerged or galvanic-exposure environments without appropriate isolation measures.
