18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant cap nuts, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
Low-Strength Steel
![]() |
Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. They are suitable for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
Nickel-Plated Steel—This plating resists salt water and chemicals better than zinc plating and is less likely to wear off. It also has a bright, polished appearance.
Medium-Strength Steel
![]() |
About twice as strong as low-strength steel, these Grade 5 nuts fasten most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are commonly used to secure electrical equipment, such as circuit board assemblies and mounting brackets, inside enclosures. They're also softer than most metals, so they won't damage other fastening components.
Nickel-Plated Brass—In addition to creating a polished appearance, the nickel plating offers better corrosion resistance than plain brass to stand up to solvents and mild chemicals.
Chrome-Plated Brass—The brightest, shiniest finish we offer, this plating has a mirror-like appearance that's often used in decorative applications. It has better corrosion resistance than plain brass to stand up to solvents and mild chemicals.
Cap Nuts with Threadlocker
These nuts not only conceal and protect protruding screw threads, they also resist loosening from mild vibration. They have a nylon patch bonded to their threads that grips screws for a tighter hold than standard cap nuts. They’re reusable a handful of times, but the patch’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.

Distorted-Thread Cap Nuts
For a stronger hold than nylon-insert cap nuts, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out in high-vibration applications, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. They have a smooth, rounded head that conceals and protects protruding screw threads while creating a finished look. Nuts are not reusable.

Cover and protect 4" of exposed threads in food plants and other sanitary environments with these extra-long cap nuts. They are free of crevices where bacteria can grow and have a Buna-N seal on the base to keep liquid, debris, and other contaminants off the threads. The seal is made with metal and chemical additives, so you can find it with a metal detector or X-ray machine if it falls into your line. Nuts have a smooth, rounded head to create a finished look.
