FAQs
What does 'Class 8' mean for these nuts?
'Class 8' refers to the strength grade of the nut, indicating its ability to withstand specific levels of stress and load. Class 8 nuts are considered high-tensile and suitable for demanding applications.
What is BZP coating?
BZP stands for Bright Zinc Plating. It's a protective coating applied to steel to enhance its resistance to corrosion and provide a bright, metallic finish.
Can I use these nuts with a fine-pitch bolt?
Yes, these nuts have a fine pitch thread of 2.50mm (M20 x 2.50), specifically designed to mate with M20 bolts that also have a 2.50mm thread pitch.
Are these nuts suitable for outdoor use?
The BZP coating provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh or constantly wet environments, stainless steel alternatives might offer longer-term protection.
What tool do I need to tighten these nuts?
You will typically need a wrench or socket of the appropriate size for an M20 nut, which is usually around 30mm or 32mm, depending on the specific wrench design.
How do I store these nuts to prevent damage?
Store them in a dry, cool place, preferably in their original packaging or a sealed container, to protect the BZP coating from moisture and potential scratches.
Troubleshooting
Nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt.
Verify that the bolt has the correct M20 x 2.50 thread pitch. Ensure there is no damage or debris on the bolt threads or inside the nut.
Nut feels loose after tightening.
Check that the correct size wrench was used and sufficient torque was applied. Ensure the bolt is long enough to engage fully with the nut and that the connected materials are not compressing significantly.
Corrosion is appearing on the nut.
While BZP offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive environments can cause rust. Clean the area and consider applying a suitable protective coating if the application is highly exposed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These nuts are designed for straightforward installation. Ensure you have an M20 bolt with a 2.50mm thread pitch. Hand-tighten the nut onto the bolt, then use an appropriate size wrench or socket (typically 30mm or 32mm for an M20 nut) to secure it to the desired tightness. Always ensure the bolt is adequately threaded through the material being fastened.
Compatibility:
The Unifix Class 8 Full Nuts are compatible with M20 bolts that have a 2.50mm thread pitch. They are designed to work with standard hex head bolts or other externally threaded fasteners of the correct size and pitch.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and appearance of the BZP finish, avoid exposing the nuts to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. For long-term storage, keep them in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion.
