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.

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

Nearly 10% wider and taller than standard steel-insert locknuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. They also have the most secure hold of all the heavy-profile locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.

These nuts are designed to secure ASTM A325 screws in structural joints, such as mating I-beams, columns, and joists. About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.
