M8 Hex Full Nut, Metric Grade 8 Steel HDGV Galvanised (Tapped Oversize) DIN 934

Corrosion Resistant Galvanised Hex Nut

HDGV galvanised M8 hex nut manufactured in grade 8 galvanised steel for excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for internal and external use.

The hot-dip galvanising adds thickness to the threaded portion of a fastener, so galvanised hex nuts are tapped oversize to compensate for the corrosion resistant coating of a bolt.

Also known as a hexagon nut, full nut, or a hexagonal nut, these popular galvanised hex nuts conform to DIN 934 standards.

Used with corresponding galvanised bolts or screws to effectively attach components together and installed with a range of conventional tools.

This sees them widely used by both DIY enthusiasts and professional alike across numerous industries.

Galvanized Hex Nuts Frequently Asked Questions

What does “tapped oversize” mean?

It means the internal thread is slightly larger than standard to compensate for the thickness of galvanised coatings on bolts which ensures a proper fit.

Can I use this nut with standard (non-galvanised) bolts?

It’s not recommended, as the oversize thread may result in a looser fit compared to standard nuts.

What is DIN 934?

DIN 934 is a standard that defines the dimensions and tolerances of metric hexagon nuts, ensuring compatibility with bolts and threaded rod.

Are galvanised nuts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, hot-dip galvanising provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for prolonged external use.
