How can you tell if a bolt is metric?

The metric screw thread is identified by

the capital letter M, followed by the nominal diameter

. Metric threads are measured by the distance between two adjacent threads in millimeters (pitch). Threads on a standard (inch based) fastener are measured by counting the number of threads per inch.

How do I know what size nut I need for a bolt?

To measure the diameter of screws and bolts, you

measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side

. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.

What does M8-1.25 mean?

For metric fasteners, you will see a M8 x 1.25 or an M8 x 1. For thread pitch, the distance between two points is the second number meaning the higher the number the fewer threads there are. This means the M8 x 1.25 is

the coarse threading

and the M8 x 1 is the fine thread.
