Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ
What is the thread size of an M4 nut?
An M4 nut has a nominal thread diameter of 4mm. It utilizes a standard metric coarse thread pitch, making it compatible with all standard M4 bolts, screws, and threaded bars.
What spanner size do I need for an M4 nut?
Standard M4 hexagon nuts typically require a 7mm spanner or socket. However, always check the specific head dimensions of your fixings, as specialized types like nylon lock nuts can sometimes vary.
Why use a nylon lock nut over a standard nut?
A nylon lock nut contains a nylon insert that deforms elastically over the mating thread. This creates friction that prevents the nut from working loose under vibration, making it superior to standard nuts for moving machinery or automotive applications.
