Value Collection KP78606 Hex Lock Nut M16 X 2.00 Grade 8.8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP78606 is a metric hex lock nut designed to maintain clamping force in bolted assemblies subject to vibration, torque cycling, or dynamic loading. It uses a distorted thread locking style, which deforms slightly upon installation to create friction-based resistance against loosening without requiring a separate locking element. Manufactured to Grade 8.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this nut meets DIN 980 standards and suits industrial, mechanical, and structural fastening applications. Each package contains 50 nuts. The M16 x 2.00 thread size and 16 mm height make it a common choice where a reliable, all-metal prevailing-torque nut is required.

This nut is used in general mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and structural connections that specify DIN 980 metric hardware. The distorted thread design eliminates the need for nylon inserts, making it suitable for elevated-temperature environments where nylon-insert nuts are not rated. Right-hand thread direction conforms to standard bolt orientation. Installers working in industrial maintenance, machinery assembly, and metal fabrication will find this nut appropriate for M16 fastener applications requiring a locking solution that meets DIN 980.

Key Features

• Distorted thread locking style provides prevailing-torque resistance without nylon inserts
• Grade 8.8 steel construction for medium-high strength fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments
• Meets DIN 980 fastener standard for metric hardware compliance
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard M16 x 2.00 bolts and studs
• Packaged in quantities of 50 per order unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard M16 x 2.00 right-hand thread metric bolts and studs conforming to DIN or equivalent metric fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard metric wrench or socket sized for a 24 mm width-across-flats hex. De-energize or lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Prevailing-torque nuts should not be reused after removal, as the distorted thread locking feature degrades with each installation cycle. Consult applicable structural or equipment standards for required torque values, as none are specified in the product data.
