Dimensional data for M14 Hex Flange Nuts to ISO 4161 / DIN 6923, with the drive and the installation notes for this type. Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.
M14 Dimensional Row (ISO 4161 / DIN 6923)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Flange diameter dc (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M14 | 2.0 | 29.9 | 14.0 | 21.0 | ISO 4161 / DIN 6923 |
Spanner & Drive for M14 Hex Flange Nuts
M14 Hex Flange Nuts have a width across flats of 21.0 mm — fit a 21.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. Use a 6-point socket for tight clearances and to reduce rounding; for repeated assembly choose a torque wrench so the joint preload is repeatable.
Tightening Torque for M14
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 135 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 190 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 230 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M14
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 115 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 67 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 95 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 112 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 92 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
Common Applications for M14 Hex Flange Nuts
M14 Hex Flange Nuts are commonly specified for medium-duty structural joints and motor / chassis mounting.
Installation Tips for M14 Hex Flange Nuts
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- On flanged or serrated variants, do NOT add a separate flat washer — the flange already spreads the load and the washer can defeat the locking serrations.
Mating Parts for M14
Pair M14 with the matching M14 bolt or screw, plus a M14 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
