Installation Tips for M4 All-Metal Prevailing Torque Hex Lock Nut (Type 1) — GB/T 6184 / ISO 7042 (Series 047)
- At M4 the joint is sensitive to over-torque — use a torque-limiting driver and check the head doesn't bury into a softer counterpart.
Mating Parts for M4
Pair M4 with the matching M4 bolt or screw, plus a M4 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
When to Step Up or Down from M4
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M4 class 8.8, step up to M5 class 8.8 (or move to M4 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M3 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
