Key Features

• Genuine OEM Thread Specification: — Manufactured to the exact M6-1.0 thread pitch and 0.7–4.2 mm grip range called out for these trowel assemblies, ensuring flush, secure installation without rework.
• Blind-End Design: — The closed hex nut format provides a clean, finished fastening point in locations where a through-hole is not present or not desired, protecting threads and internal cavities.
• Broad Ride-On Trowel Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment across MD105, MD80, PRX, HTX6H, HTXG6DF, LD60, LD6, LD6SL, STXDF, and STX6H ride-on power trowel models.
• Structural Fastener Integrity: — A correctly sized blind nut maintains tight, vibration-resistant connections on a machine that operates under continuous rotational load; an incorrect or worn fastener risks panel or component loosening during operation.
• Authorized OEM Sourcing: — Sold by DHS Equipment as a genuine Multiquip part, backed by the manufacturer's part number 42496 for confident ordering and accurate service records.

A blind hex nut is a closed-end fastener used to create a threaded connection point on panels, housings, or structural members where access from the back is limited or where an open through-hole is not acceptable. On ride-on power trowels, these fasteners appear in locations such as guard panels, operator platform components, and equipment covers, where they must hold securely against vibration and operational stress. When a blind nut strips, corrodes, or is replaced with an incorrect size, it can compromise the fit of covers and protective components, potentially leading to loose assemblies or misaligned panels during use.
