Zinc	18-8 Stainless Steel

The most tamper-resistant nuts we offer, these have a hex head that breaks away upon tightening, leaving a non-removable cone. They can be installed using a standard wrench. Use them to reduce the risk of unwanted removal for objects in public spaces such as signs, lighting fixtures, and displays.

Zinc—Zinc and zinc-plated alloy steel nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

18-8 Stainless Steel—18-8 stainless steel nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

Tri-Groove-Drive Tamper-Resistant Nuts

Tri-groove-drive nuts are narrower than sloped and drilled-spanner-drive nuts to fit in tight spaces. Install with a tri-groove socket and either a socket driver or an open-end wrench (all sold separately). Use them to reduce the risk of unwanted removal for objects in public spaces such as signs, lighting fixtures, and displays.

Zinc—Zinc nuts are lightweight and corrosion resistant in wet environments.

316 Stainless Steel—316 stainless steel nuts won’t corrode from water, chemicals, or salt spray.

Sloped Tamper-Resistant Nuts

Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Tamper-Resistant Nuts. Sloped Surface.

Sloped sides make these nuts difficult to grasp with standard hand tools to reduce the risk of unwanted removal. To install, thread a second sloped nut onto the bolt upside down and insert a wrench between the two nuts to fasten. They're often used to secure signs, lighting fixtures, and displays in public spaces.

Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—A zinc yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Drilled-Spanner-Drive Tamper-Resistant Nuts

A wide base and large bearing surface make these nuts good for securing large objects. They must be installed and removed with a nutdriver (sold separately). Use them to reduce the risk of unwanted removal for objects in public spaces such as signs, lighting fixtures, and displays.

Zinc—Made from zinc, they're corrosion resistant in wet environments.
