    The most commonly used hex nuts, these are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    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.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
    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.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

    Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts.
    About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.
    High-Strength Steel
    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.
    Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. These nuts are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals. The galvanized finish is thicker than other types of coatings, so the threads may be more likely to stick during installation. Use with other hot-dipped galvanized fasteners.

    Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. 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.

    High-Profile Flange Nuts

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Flange Nuts. High-Profile Flange Nuts.
    30% taller than standard-profile nuts, these have a large gripping area so your wrench or socket won't slip off as you tighten them. They also engage more threads for extra gripping power. 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.

    Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Locknuts

    Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, 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. Nuts are not reusable.

    Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins

    Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

    Known as setup studs, these studs withstand sideways forces better than fully threaded studs because they have a strong unthreaded middle. The unthreaded middle also makes more contact with unthreaded holes, creating better alignment than a fully threaded stud.

    Quickly restore stripped threads—these inserts come with through-hole taps and installation tools. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts.
    With Loctite® adhesive already on the threads, these inserts won’t back out or vibrate loose. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. Unlike helical inserts, you can install them with a standard drill and tap. However, thread-locking inserts are difficult to remove and reuse.
    After drilling and tapping your hole, install inserts with a wrench or an installation bit. To use a wrench, thread an insert and two hex nuts onto a bolt. Then, grip and turn the top nut to drive into the hole. For slotted inserts, you can drive with a slotted screwdriver instead.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
