Value Collection 738062PS Hex Lock Nut M24x3 Class 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 738062PS is a distorted-thread hex lock nut designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. Manufactured from Class 8 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this metric fastener carries an M24x3 thread size with a right-hand thread direction. The distorted-thread locking mechanism works by creating interference between the nut threads and the mating bolt threads, eliminating the need for secondary locking hardware. With a width across flats of 36 millimeters and a height of 24 millimeters, it installs with standard metric tooling and meets DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards. Typical installers include millwrights, mechanical contractors, and maintenance technicians working on structural and mechanical assemblies.

This hex lock nut is suited for metric fastening applications where joint integrity must be maintained against vibration, shock loads, or thermal cycling. It is commonly used in industrial machinery, structural steel connections, and heavy mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable metric locking fastener. The M24x3 thread pitch is a standard coarse metric specification, making this nut a direct fit for corresponding M24 metric bolts and threaded rod used across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Distorted-thread locking style provides mechanical resistance to loosening without secondary locking components
• Class 8 steel construction delivers high tensile and proof load capacity for demanding fastening applications
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and light industrial environments
• Meets DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards for dimensional and performance compliance
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard M24x3 metric bolts and threaded rod
• Width across flats of 36 millimeters accepts standard metric open-end, box, or socket wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with M24x3 metric-threaded fasteners conforming to DIN and ISO metric standards. Suitable as a direct replacement or new-installation locking nut on any standard M24 coarse-thread bolt or stud.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 36-millimeter metric wrench or socket. Ensure the mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Distorted-thread lock nuts are typically single-use; once fully torqued and removed, replacement with a new nut is recommended to ensure reliable locking performance. Follow applicable mechanical or structural specifications for required torque values on the specific joint assembly.
