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. They're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment when used in conjunction with a standard hex nut. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

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. Some of these screws meet ISO and DIN dimensional standards.

Nuts with fine and extra-fine thread spacing are less likely to loosen from vibration than nuts with coarse thread spacing.

Zinc-plated and zinc yellow-chromate plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use in low-clearance applications or jam one against a standard hex nut to hold it in place. They're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel thin hex nuts.

Zinc yellow-chromate-plated steel nuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated steel nuts.

These nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. 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.

These nuts have excellent chemical resistance and can be used in saltwater environments. 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.

These nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. 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.

Also known as heavy hex nuts, these nuts are about 10% wider and taller than standard hex nuts and distribute the load over a large area. Grade 2H nuts are comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts. They're about 20% stronger than high-strength steel nuts and are used in heavy machinery, such as earth-moving equipment.

A nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. These nuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade 8 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.

Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.

Black-oxide steel locknuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Zinc yellow-chromate plated steel locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. They have a nylon insert that grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade 8 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel thin locknuts. All have a finish that resists corrosion in wet environments.

About half the height and 10% wider than standard nylon-insert locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against an extra-wide hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about three times stronger than low-strength steel extra-wide thin locknuts.

Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be welded, painted and finished.

An irregularly shaped thread at the top of the nut grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. They thread on from the bottom of the nut, allowing more threads to engage the bolt before tightening for easier installation than center-lock distorted thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. They're not reusable. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.

Black-phosphate, zinc-plated, and zinc yellow-chromate-plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. Threads at the top of the nut expand to grip the bolt on all sides for a stronger hold than distorted-thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts.

Plain steel locknuts are uncoated and ready for painting.

Cadmium-plated locknuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments. The plating adds lubricity so they thread on smoothly.

When installed, the steel insert grips the threads and lifts away from the nut body, isolating the insert from the nut’s load to resist spinoff caused by vibration. These locknuts are often used in shakers and vibrating equipment. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. Made from Grade 5 steel, they're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
