DIN 6334 Hex Coupling Nuts — Q195 Low Carbon Steel, Zinc Plated
FULLERKREG DIN 6334 hexagonal long coupling nuts in Q195 low carbon steel with electroplated zinc finish combine the cost-effectiveness of low carbon steel with reliable atmospheric corrosion protection. Conforming to the DIN 6334 standard, the nut length is exactly 3 times the nominal thread diameter (3×d), providing the extended thread engagement required to reliably join two threaded rods, studs, or anchor bolts end-to-end. The electroplated zinc (electro-galvanised) coating delivers a bright, uniform silver appearance and provides effective corrosion protection for indoor, sheltered outdoor, and general industrial environments. Q195 low carbon steel ensures excellent weldability and ductility, while the zinc coating meets standard corrosion resistance requirements at the most competitive price point in the DIN 6334 range. Available in thread sizes M3 through M56.

Standard Notes
DIN 6334 specifies hexagonal long nuts with a length equal to 3 times the nominal thread diameter (m = 3×d). This extended length provides significantly greater thread engagement than a standard hex nut, making DIN 6334 coupling nuts the correct choice for joining two externally threaded components — such as threaded rods, studs, or anchor bolts — end-to-end. The electroplated zinc finish is applied after threading and provides cathodic protection to the steel substrate. Trivalent chromium (Cr³⁺) passivation is applied over the zinc layer for enhanced corrosion resistance and RoHS compliance — no hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) is used.
