    About Hex Nuts
    industrial info icon

    Choose a hex nut with the right profile, material, and strength for your application.

    Mil. Spec. Hex Nuts

    These nuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Mil. Spec. Hex Nuts.
    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.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel— The plating creates a barrier against rust, so these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. They also thread on smoothly without sticking.

    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Mil. Spec. Hex Nuts.
    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.
    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.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel— The plating creates a barrier against rust, so these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. They also thread on smoothly without sticking.

    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.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel— The plating creates a barrier against rust, so these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. They also thread on smoothly without sticking.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

    Mil. Spec. Distorted-Thread Flange Nuts

    Not only do these have the strongest hold of all the flange nuts we offer, they are also manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. They have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening in high-vibration applications. The threads prevent the nut from backing out, but 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, so they are not reusable. Nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. Also known as collar nuts.

    Low-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flange Nuts. Mil. Spec. Distorted-Thread Flange Nuts.
    About half the strength of medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
    Cadmium-Plated Steel—The plating reduces friction during installation, so these nuts thread on smoother than others. It also creates a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc yellow-chromate plating.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—Better corrosion resistance than plain cadmium. These nuts withstand salt water and are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments.

    Mil. Spec. Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    These locknuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. 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.

    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-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.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Mil. Spec. Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration.
    These locknuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. 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.

    Mil. Spec. Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Mil. Spec. Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    These locknuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. They are about half the height of standard-profile locknuts to 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 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.
    Material Certificate Icon
    Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. Download certificates from ORDER HISTORY after your order ships.
    Low-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
    Cadmium Yellow-Chromate-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.

    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Change thread sizes or types, such as fine to coarse threads, on parts without changing gender. These adapters can also be used as standoffs to position components in assemblies and to create space between parts. They have an external hex, so you can tighten them with a wrench.
    ASTM A582—Adapters that meet ASTM specifications are made from or plated with materials that adhere to specific standards for chemical and physical properties, such as hardness.
    NAS1829AC3B08, NAS1829AC4D08, NAS1829AC6F08, NAS1829AC6H12, NAS1829C3B08, NAS1829C4D08, NAS1829C6F08, and NAS1829C6H12—Adapters that meet NAS standards are made to specific dimensions and are finished with an extra layer of rust protection. Aluminum adapters that meet NAS standards have a yellow-chromate plating, and stainless steel adapters have been passivated.
