Coupling Nuts
 |
Also known as extension nuts, these are commonly used to connect lengths of threaded rod and join threaded parts.
Low-Strength Steel
Rated Grade 2 or lower, these are about half as strong as medium-strength steel coupling nuts. Use them with threaded rods that have a comparable strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
