Value Collection VT1766PS Hex Jam Nut M16 X 2 Din 936

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VT1766PS is a zinc-plated Grade 2H steel hex jam nut with an M16 x 2 thread size conforming to DIN 936. Jam nuts are thin hex nuts used primarily as locknuts when threaded against a standard nut to prevent loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. This nut measures 24 mm across the flats and 8 mm in height, making it a low-profile fastener suited for applications where stack height is limited. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general indoor and light outdoor use. It carries a right-hand thread direction and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

This jam nut is appropriate for use in general industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where an M16 x 2 thread pattern is required. Common uses include locking standard hex nuts in place on threaded rod, machine frames, structural assemblies, and equipment mounting hardware. It is a standard DIN 936 fastener suitable for use by maintenance technicians, machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general tradespeople working in light to medium-duty assembly contexts.

Key Features

• DIN 936 standard compliance for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Grade 2H steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for general service environments
• Low-profile 8 mm height suits space-constrained locking applications
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility
• 24 mm across-flats dimension fits standard M16 hex tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 936 hex jam nut for use with M16 x 2 threaded rod, bolts, and fastener assemblies in general industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard 24 mm open-end or box wrench. When used as a locknut, thread the jam nut against a standard hex nut and tighten both in opposing directions to secure the assembly. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the relevant fastener or equipment manufacturer for the specific assembly.
