M36 Hex Nuts, Grade C are manufactured to ISO 4034. This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M36 size together 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.
M36 Dimensional Row (ISO 4034)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Width across corners e min (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Product grade | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M36 | 4.0 | 55.0 | 60.79 | 31.0 | Grade C | ISO 4034 / DIN 555 |
Spanner & Drive for M36 Hex Nuts, Grade C
M36 Hex Nuts, Grade C have a width across flats of 55.0 mm — fit a 55.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. A 6-point socket grips all six flats of the 55.0 mm hex and is what to reach for once a fastener has been on and off a few times; a 12-point ring spanner starts rounding a worn head. For repeatable preload, torque rather than feel.
Tightening Torque for M36
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2523 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 3593 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 4204 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 M36
Nuts are graded to ISO 898-2 by the proof load the nut itself will hold (classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12), not by the 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9 scale used for bolts. A class-8 nut is the correct mate for a class-8.8 bolt, and the joint is designed on the bolt, so no bolt-tension figure is quoted here.
Installation Tips for M36 Hex Nuts, Grade C
- 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.
- At M36 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.
Mating Parts for M36
Pair M36 with the matching M36 bolt or screw, plus a M36 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.

Need hex nuts, grade c in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M36 hex nuts, grade c. Height and across-flats are the two most often changed — a thinner nut for clearance, a larger hex for a tool that is already on the line. Made by cold heading or tapping.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
