INOX 316 security shear nuts, M10
The price shown is for the pack.
Available
INOX Security Shear Nut - 316 Stainless Steel is an anti-theft nut. Made in 316 (A4) stainless steel, the Security Shear Nut is a security nut with a break-off head. When it is tightened to the set torque, the head shears away and leaves a rounded nut that cannot easily be removed with a normal spanner.
Every size comes in packs of 100. Supplied in 316 (A4) stainless steel. The molybdenum in A4 gives better resistance to chlorides than A2 (304), so it is the usual choice near the coast, around pools and in marine and food-processing environments. Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10mm thread. Austenitic stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, although cold-worked parts can show weak magnetism.
