    About Hex Nuts
    industrial info icon

    Choose a hex nut with the right profile, material, and strength for your application.

    Thin-Profile Hex Nuts

    About half the height of standard-profile nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against another hex nut to hold it in place.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Thin-Profile Hex Nuts.
    These Grade 5 or Class 04 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.

    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Thin-Profile Hex Nuts.
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. They are commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Material Certificate—Nuts include a report with a traceable lot number and a description of their chemical and physical properties.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.

    Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.
    High-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
