Hex Nuts
The most commonly used hex nuts, these are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
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.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
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.
Brass
|
Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are commonly used to secure electrical equipment, such as circuit board assemblies and mounting brackets, inside enclosures. They're also softer than most metals, so they won't damage other fastening components.
Mil. Spec. Hex Nuts
These nuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.

Narrow-Profile Hex Nuts
When you have limited space for tightening with a wrench, use these nuts. Since they’re about 20% narrower, they fit in tight spots where standard-profile nuts won't fit. Also known as small-pattern hex nuts.

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.
