2. Screw thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

   This is known as a right-handed (RH) thread, because it follows the right-hand grip rule. Threads oriented in the opposite direction are known as left-handed (LH). By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads.

3. Screw - Wikipedia

   Most screws are tightened by clockwise rotation, which is called a right-hand thread. [4] [5] Screws with a left-hand thread are used in exceptional cases, such as where the screw will be subject to counterclockwise torque, which would tend to loosen a right-hand screw. For this reason, the left-side pedal of a bicycle has a left-hand thread. [6]

   This standard defines property classes, the metric equivalent of a screw grade, that are almost identical to those defined by ISO 898-1, [2] except for the addition of the 8.8.3 and 10.9.3 classes. These two additional standards are fasteners that have the same mechanical properties as their base property class (i.e. 8.8 and 10.9), but are made ...

7. Washer (hardware) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washer_(hardware)

   When a left hand turning motion is applied, the raised edge bites into the underside of the bolt or nut and the part that it is bolted to, thus resisting turning. Therefore, spring washers are ineffective on left hand threads and hardened surfaces [citation needed]. Also, they are not to be used in conjunction with a flat washer under the ...
