This left-hand threaded hex nut is manufactured to DIN 934 standards and made from plain steel—steel without any coating or surface treatment. While the material is strong, it offers little inherent protection against corrosion. The nut is turned and features metric threads with a left-hand (LH) direction, which is primarily used on clockwise-rotating components to prevent loosening. Please note: Class |6| nuts are rated according to DIN 267-4 and have a lower load capacity than Class 6 nuts per ISO 898-2. Mechanical overloading may cause the threads of the nut or bolt to strip.
