ISO 4035 M20 Hexagon thin nut
ISO 4035 M20 is a hexagon thin nut, on a M20 × 1.5 mm metric thread. ISO version of the low hex nut, chamfered on both faces.

ISO 4035 is catalogued with DIN 439 as its equivalent designation. Dimensions are compared field by field rather than assumed identical.
Choosing and fitting this size
ISO 4035 M20 is a M20 nut, on a 1.5 mm coarse pitch. Mating threads should be a matching class nut in the same property class.
Common stock grades are 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 in steel, plus A2-70 and A4-80 in stainless. Class 10.9 and 12.9 carry roughly 1.25 and 1.5 times the proof load of 8.8, but they also need a properly rated mating nut — a class 8 nut under a 12.9 bolt simply moves the failure into the thread. Zinc-plated 10.9 and above should be baked to avoid hydrogen embrittlement.
For a tapped hole, M20 × 1.5 mm takes a 18.5 mm tap drill, and the external thread's minor diameter is 18.16 mm — that is the section carrying the load, not the nominal M20 figure. Thread engagement of at least one times the nominal diameter is what lets the bolt fail before the thread strips.
