    About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.

    These nuts are hardened, so they maintain their strength under high pressure and temperature. Pair them with ASTM A193 screws to fasten critical components, such as valves and flanges, in pressure tanks, boilers, and heat exchangers. About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.

    Extreme-Strength SteelThese nuts are about 20% stronger than high-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

    SteelBest for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
