Value Collection KP78605 Hex Lock Nut M14 X 2.00 Grade 8.8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP78605 is a metric hex lock nut engineered to resist loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. It uses a distorted thread locking style, which deforms slightly during installation to create mechanical interference with the mating fastener. Made from Grade 8.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this nut conforms to DIN 980 standards and is suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly applications. The M14 x 2.00 thread size and right-hand thread direction make it compatible with standard metric fastener systems. Each package contains 50 nuts.

This nut is used in mechanical and structural assemblies where vibration or dynamic loading could cause a standard nut to back off. Typical applications include industrial machinery, automotive assemblies, equipment frames, and similar metal fabrication work. The zinc-plated finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. Installation requires only standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches sized for a 22 mm across-flats hex. The 14 mm height provides adequate thread engagement for M14 fastener systems.

Key Features

• Distorted thread locking style creates mechanical resistance without secondary locking hardware
• Grade 8.8 steel construction for reliable strength in general-purpose fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection
• Conforms to DIN 980 fastener standard
• Right-hand thread direction, M14 x 2.00 thread size
• Sold in a package of 50 nuts

Compatibility

Designed for use with M14 x 2.00 metric threaded fasteners in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications conforming to DIN 980 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a standard 22 mm open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is free of debris and damage before threading the nut. Because the distorted thread locking feature creates increased resistance during installation, do not reuse these nuts after removal, as the locking effectiveness diminishes with repeated use. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before performing fastener service on live machinery.
