    Flanged Knurled-Head Thumb Nuts

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Thumb Nuts. Flanged Knurled-Head Thumb Nuts.
    The slip-resistant head is easy to grip, while the flange distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. These nuts are often used to secure screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts.
    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.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Passivated 18-8 Stainless Steel—With an added layer of protection, these nuts stand up to strong acids and other harsh chemicals.

    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.
    Steel
    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.

    Twist these thumb nuts into spaces without a lot of clearance. They have a short, slip-resistant head, so you can grip them easily and make controlled adjustments in cramped spots. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against another nut to hold it in place.
