Value Collection DN7XX01600-005BX M16x2 Acorn Nut Din 1587

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DN7XX01600-005BX is a stainless steel acorn nut with a metric coarse M16x2 thread. Acorn nuts, also called cap nuts, feature a domed top that covers exposed fastener ends to protect threads and provide a finished appearance. This nut measures 24mm width across flats and 28mm overall height. It is manufactured to DIN 1587 standards and produced from A4 austenitic stainless steel, which delivers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention. Suitable for use wherever a closed-end, thread-protecting nut is required in metric-threaded assemblies.

This acorn nut is used in commercial and industrial fastening applications where exposed thread ends must be capped for safety, corrosion protection, or aesthetics. Typical install scenarios include mechanical assemblies, pipe flanges, equipment enclosures, and structural connections that require metric fasteners. The A4 stainless steel grade makes it well suited for marine, food-processing, and outdoor environments where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with metric fastening systems are the primary installers.

Key Features

• M16x2 metric coarse right-hand thread for standard metric compatibility
• A4 austenitic stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• DIN 1587 standard compliance ensures dimensional consistency
• Domed cap design protects exposed thread ends from damage and contamination
• Uncoated finish suitable for use in corrosive or food-grade environments
• 24mm width across flats fits standard metric wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 1587 metric coarse acorn nut for use with M16x2 threaded fasteners and bolts in standard metric assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians using a standard 24mm metric wrench or socket. Hand-tighten first to confirm proper thread engagement before applying tool torque. Do not cross-thread or over-torque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling. Ensure mating thread is free of debris and damage before installation.
