Value Collection 738100PS M5x0.8 Hex Lock Nut Class 8 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 738100PS is a metric hex lock nut designed with a distorted thread locking style to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. Manufactured from Class 8 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this nut conforms to DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards. It features a right-hand M5x0.8 thread, a width across flats of 8 millimeters, and a height of 4.5 millimeters. This fastener is well suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and industrial maintenance applications where positive thread retention is required without the use of a separate locking insert or adhesive.

This hex lock nut is used in a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across manufacturing, HVAC equipment frames, electrical panel fabrication, and general industrial applications. Its metric M5x0.8 thread size makes it a standard choice wherever M5 threaded fasteners are used. Licensed trades and production assembly technicians working with metric hardware will find this nut compatible with standard metric tooling. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Distorted thread locking style resists vibration-induced loosening without a separate insert
• Class 8 steel construction provides reliable tensile and proof load performance for metric fastener applications
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion protection in indoor and light-exposure environments
• Conforms to DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards for dimensional and performance consistency
• Right-hand M5x0.8 thread works with standard metric tooling and M5 fastener systems
• Width across flats of 8 millimeters suits common 8 mm metric wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed for use with M5x0.8 right-hand threaded fasteners in metric assemblies conforming to DIN 980 or ISO 7042 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by assembly technicians or maintenance trades using an 8 mm wrench or socket. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before threading the nut by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to the torque value specified by your assembly documentation for Class 8 metric hardware. Do not reuse distorted thread lock nuts after removal, as the locking element loses effectiveness once fully engaged and backed off.
