Value Collection 738210PS Hex Lock Nut M16x2 Class 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 738210PS is a metric hex lock nut with a distorted thread locking style, designed to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. Manufactured to Class 8 steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this nut conforms to DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards. The M16x2 thread size and right-hand thread direction make it a standard choice for metric fastening assemblies. With a width across flats of 24.00 mm and a height of 14.00 mm, it fits standard M16 hex tooling. Installers in mechanical, structural, and industrial assembly applications rely on this nut where prevailing torque retention is required without a separate locking element.

This hex lock nut is suited for general industrial, mechanical, and OEM assembly applications where metric fasteners are specified. The distorted thread design creates a prevailing torque effect that keeps the nut secured under vibration without the need for additional locking hardware such as washers or adhesive. It is commonly used in machinery, equipment frames, structural connections, and fabricated assemblies where DIN or ISO metric standards apply.

Key Features

• Zinc finish for corrosion protection
• Meets DIN 980 and ISO 7042 standards
• Width across flats of 24.00 mm fits standard M16 hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or assembly component for M16x2 threaded fastener applications conforming to DIN 980 or ISO 7042 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a standard 24 mm hex wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not reuse distorted thread lock nuts after removal, as the locking effectiveness diminishes with each use. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the relevant design or maintenance specification for the assembly.
