    Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts.
    About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.
    Extreme-Strength Steel
    These 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.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
    PTFE-Coated Steel—A slippery PTFE coating prevents these nuts from becoming stuck during installation. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, however they're not recommended for prolonged exposure since the coating can wear off.

    Steel Socket Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Head Screws. Steel Socket Head Screws, Partially 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.
    Black-Oxide Alloy Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

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

    Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts for High-Pressure Applications

    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.

    Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. 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.
    High-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    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.

    Hoist Rings—For Lifting

    180° Pivot

    Image of Specification. 360° Swivel. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. 360° Swivel. Hoist Rings—For Lifting.

    360° Swivel

    Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque wrenches are sold separately.
    Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Machined—Machined hoist rings have a smooth finish to protect slings and hooks from damage and excess wear during lifting.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide steel hoist rings have mild corrosion resistance.
    CE Marked—Hoist rings that are CE marked meet European safety standards.
