Product Overview
Metric Grade 8.8 nuts are high-strength carbon steel fasteners manufactured to ISO 898-2 and EN 20898-2 standards. These nuts are typically paired with Grade 8.8 bolts and threaded rods, providing a minimum proof load of 580 MPa and designed for use in structural, automotive, and heavy machinery applications where reliable clamping force and vibration resistance are critical.
Grade 8.8 nuts are zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection and are available in hex, heavy hex, and lock nut configurations. Their mechanical properties make them the industry standard for medium to high-stress bolted joints in metric assemblies worldwide.
