    Material

    Mil. Spec. Narrow-Profile Hex Nuts

    These nuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. They are about 20% narrower to fit in tight spots where standard-profile nuts won't fit. Also known as small-pattern hex nuts.

    Mil. Spec. Hex Nuts

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