1 1/2"-12 Fasteners | McMaster-Carr

These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

High-Strength Steel

Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. They are commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Material Certificate—Nuts include a report with a traceable lot number and a description of their chemical and physical properties.

Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

Zinc-Flake-Coated Steel—The most durable zinc coating, zinc flake is a multilayer finish that resists wear for long-term rust protection. Similar to zinc yellow-chromate, it won't hold up to harsh chemicals like stainless steel can.

Threaded Rods

Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications, from mounting I-beams to suspending light fixtures.

Medium-Strength Steel

Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rods.

With tensile strengths from 110,000 psi to 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also medium-strength steel.

Steel Socket Head Screws

Fully Threaded

Partially Threaded

Made of alloy steel, these screws are the standard for high-strength fastening. Use them in high-load applications such as dies, presses, and heavy equipment. The deep, six-point socket keeps the hex key from slipping out and damaging the drive.

Length is measured from under the head.

However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

Helical Threaded Inserts

Pronged

Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.

Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.

Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Thin-Profile Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

Steel

These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 and Class 10 steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Cadmium-Plated Steel—These locknuts have good lubricity to thread on smoothly and ease installation. The plating also creates a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc-yellow-chromate plating.

Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins

Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.

High-Strength Steel

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Helical Threaded Insert Installation and Prong Break-Off Tools

T-Handle

Install helical inserts and break off prongs with one tool and a hammer strike. These tools have a slot that grips your insert’s prong for turning both left- and right-hand threads. Slide an insert onto these tools and drive them a quarter-turn to half-turn below the material’s surface. Then, strike the end of the tool with a hammer to break off the prong. These tools work with pronged helical inserts.

Helical Threaded Inserts with Installation Tools

Drill Bit, Installation Tool

and Through-Hole Tap

Quickly restore stripped threads—these inserts come with through-hole taps and installation tools. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole.

Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Key-Locking Threaded Inserts with Installation Tools

Paired with the right tool for installation, these inserts create strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. They have keys that drive into material to prevent inserts from slipping and rotating in the hole.

Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.

Mil.-Spec. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts For Soft Metal

These inserts are manufactured and tested to meet or compare to strict standards adopted by the U.S. military. The keys drive into aluminum and other soft metal for a secure hold that won't slip or rotate, even in vibrating vehicle or aerospace parts. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.

To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.

Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Key-Locking Threaded Insert Drivers

Place the tip of these tools into a key-locking insert after you've threaded it into a hole with your fingers. Then, strike these tools with a hammer to drive the keys into the material and secure the insert. They’re compatible with Keensert inserts.

Choose the tool that matches your insert’s thread size and tap thread size.

Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal

Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
