    Low-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength nuts. They are suitable for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.

    The easiest nuts to twist on and off by hand, these are commonly used to fasten parts that need to be frequently disassembled, such as access panels and covers. The wings give you more leverage than knurled-head nuts, so you can apply greater torque and achieve a tighter fit.

    Low-Strength Steel Square Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Square Nuts. Low-Strength Steel Square Nuts.
    Large flat sides make these nuts easy to grip with a wrench and keep them from rotating in channels and square holes. About half the strength of medium-strength steel square nuts, use them in light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
    Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—Black-zinc-plated steel square nuts resist corrosion in wet environments and have a black finish that blends in with dark surfaces.
    Steel—Steel square nuts are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—Zinc-plated steel square nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
