Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Square Nuts

Two-thirds the height of typical square nuts and made of stainless steel, these metric nuts are designed for use in low-clearance applications in humid, damp, and washdown environments. They’re often called square jam nuts because they can be jammed together to hold each other in place. They’re easily gripped with a wrench due to their flat, broad sides, which also prevent them from rotating in channels and square holes. Compared to hex nuts, a greater area is in contact with the fastened surface. And compared to steel nuts, they’re slightly less strong.
These nuts meet DIN 562, an international standard that signifies their material and dimensions are compatible with other products and tools.

Metric Low-Strength Steel Thin Square Nuts

About half the strength and two-thirds the height of medium-strength steel square nuts, use these metric nuts in light duty, low-clearance applications. Also known as square jam nuts, they’re commonly jammed together to hold each other in place. Their flat, broad sides make them easy to grip with a wrench and keep them from rotating in channels and square holes. Compared to hex nuts, a greater area is in contact with the fastened surface. A zinc plating protects these nuts from corrosion in wet environments.
