Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. They're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment when used in conjunction with a standard hex nut.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.

Left-Hand Threaded Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Also known as jam nuts, they are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
