OEM direct replacement • Grade 10 steel • Precision rolled threads • Corrosion-resistant finish
The Q340B12 Type I Hex Head Nut is a standard metric hex nut used to secure bolts and threaded studs in a multitude of chassis and powertrain applications on SINOTRUK Howo trucks. Engineered as a direct OEM replacement, this nut guarantees correct thread fit, consistent clamp load, and reliable retention under dynamic loading. Manufactured to the original specifications, it ensures a seamless fit and robust performance.
The nut is produced from high-quality carbon steel, grade 10 or equivalent, providing excellent tensile strength and resistance to stripping. The threads are formed using a precision rolling process that work-hardens the thread flanks, enhancing fatigue resistance and improving surface finish for consistent torque-tension characteristics. The hex profile is precisely formed to ensure proper engagement with standard wrenches or sockets, minimizing the risk of rounding during installation or removal.
This hex nut is essential for maintaining the integrity of bolted joints, preventing loosening and joint separation that can lead to component wear, noise, or failure. Its robust material properties and precise engineering guarantee reliable clamping over extended service intervals, meeting the rigorous demands of heavy-duty trucking. It is the direct replacement you can trust to keep your SINOTRUK Howo securely fastened.
The Q340B12 Type I Hex Head Nut is specifically designed for SINOTRUK Howo heavy-duty trucks, including Howo A7, T7H, T5G, and many other models. It is commonly used with M12 bolts to secure chassis crossmembers, suspension brackets, brake calipers, engine mounts, and numerous other bolted joints. Its standard M12×1.75 thread size makes it a versatile and essential fastener for a wide range of applications.
This nut is ideal for a wide range of operating environments, including long-haul trucking, regional distribution, construction, mining, and agricultural operations. Its high-strength material and corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable fastening even under sustained heavy loads, high vibration, and extreme ambient conditions.
When replacing, always verify the thread size and pitch to ensure a perfect match. The Q340B12 is a direct-fit component that simplifies maintenance and restores original joint integrity.
Installing the Q340B12 Type I Hex Head Nut requires proper torque control and the correct wrench size (18 mm). Begin by inspecting the nut for any visible damage or corrosion before installation. Ensure the mating bolt threads are clean and free of dirt, rust, or old thread-locking compound. Apply a light coat of clean engine oil or anti-seize to the threads if recommended by the service manual.
Thread the nut onto the bolt by hand to ensure it turns freely. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the nut to the torque value specified in the service manual. For M12 grade 10 nuts, the typical torque range is 80–100 N·m, depending on the joint friction conditions. When tightening, hold the bolt head securely to prevent spinning. For critical joints, consider using a thread-locking compound to prevent loosening under vibration.
After installation, double-check the torque after the first 100 miles of operation to account for any initial settling. Regular maintenance includes periodic inspection of the nut for signs of corrosion, thread damage, or loss of tension. If the nut shows any signs of stretching, corrosion, or damage during routine service, replace it immediately. Nuts that have been torqued multiple times may also lose their clamping ability; replacement is recommended if they show any sign of fatigue.
This nut is engineered for long service life, but proper installation and torque management are essential for maintaining joint integrity and safety.
This hex nut is manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility using high-quality carbon steel sourced from approved mills. The raw material is tested for chemical composition, tensile strength, and hardness to ensure compliance with grade 10 requirements. The nut is produced through a controlled cold-forming and thread-rolling process that maintains precise dimensional tolerances and surface quality.
Every nut undergoes 100% dimensional inspection, including thread gauging, hex width measurement, and height verification. We also perform hardness testing, proof load testing, and torque-tension correlation tests on random samples from each production batch. The zinc plating thickness is measured and salt spray tested to ensure it meets the specified corrosion resistance requirements. The nuts are carefully packaged to prevent damage and contamination during shipping.
Our commitment to quality ensures a nut that delivers reliable, long-lasting clamping, protecting your truck from joint loosening and structural failure. Backed by a comprehensive warranty, this nut offers peace of mind for fleet operators and owner-operators.
