Description
Product Overview
The Hillman Group 58459 M6 Metric Extruded U‑Nut is engineered from high‑grade alloy steel with a plain gray finish that resists corrosion and wear in demanding environments. Each nut features a precision‑extruded U‑shape that acts as both a nut and a lock washer, eliminating the need for separate components and saving valuable space in assemblies where clearance is limited. The fastener conforms to a Class 2A thread tolerance, ensuring a secure, vibration‑resistant fit on M6 screws with a 4.8 mm pitch. Packaged in a convenient 20‑piece bulk set, these nuts are ready for immediate deployment in automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and a wide range of industrial applications. The product dimensions—6 mm item diameter and a cutting diameter of 6 mm—provide a consistent profile that aligns perfectly with standard metric hardware specifications.
Usage
Designed for environments where space is at a premium, the extruded U‑nut excels in tight‑fit scenarios such as engine bays, control panels, and equipment housings. Its dual‑function design simplifies installation by reducing the number of parts required, which translates to faster assembly times and lower inventory costs. Whether you are securing a motor mount, fastening a bracket in a chassis, or reinforcing a pipe clamp, the gray alloy steel construction offers the strength needed to withstand dynamic loads and temperature fluctuations common in automotive and industrial settings. The nuts are also suitable for maintenance tasks that demand quick disassembly and re‑assembly, as the built‑in lock‑washer feature minimizes the risk of loosening due to vibration.

FAQ
What thread sizes are compatible with this U‑nut?
The 58459 model is sized for M6 screws, which have a 4.8 mm pitch. It is also compatible with larger metric extruded U‑nut variants in the same series for M7 through M10 applications.
Can these nuts be used in high‑temperature environments?
Yes. The alloy steel material is heat‑treated and can tolerate typical automotive and industrial temperature ranges, though extreme continuous heat above 200 °C should be avoided.
Is the gray finish purely aesthetic or does it provide protection?
The gray finish serves both purposes: it offers a neutral appearance and adds a thin protective coating that helps reduce surface oxidation and rust formation.
How many pieces are included in the package?
Each package contains 20 individual extruded U‑nuts, providing ample quantity for bulk projects or repeated use in maintenance tasks.
