About Nuts, Materials, and Finishes

Plastic Thin Hex Nuts

Plastic nuts are chemical resistant, nonconductive, and lightweight.

Metric Low-Profile Low-Strength
Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

With a shorter hex height than standard DIN 985 locknuts, these nylon-insert locknuts meet international ISO 10511 dimensional standards and are easy to install in tight spaces.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These locknuts are about half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts. Use them in light duty low clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place.

Mil. Spec. Low-Strength Steel
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction.

High-Strength Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These Grade 8 locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel thin locknuts.

Medium-Strength Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Grade 5 locknuts are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment when used in conjunction with a standard hex nut.

18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

Mil. Spec. 18-8 Stainless Steel
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Choose these locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction.

Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless
Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel locknuts, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

High-Strength Steel Extra-Wide
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about three times stronger than low-strength steel extra-wide thin locknuts.

Low-Strength Steel Extra-Wide
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Use these locknuts for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.

18-8 Stainless Steel Extra-Wide
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These locknuts have good chemical resistance.

Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless
Steel Extra-Wide Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel locknuts, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

Reinforced Plastic Knurled-Head Thumb Nuts

These thumb nuts have an aluminum insert to withstand more torque than plastic thumb nuts during installation.

Plastic Knurled-Head Thumb Nuts

These nylon thumb nuts are chemical resistant, nonconductive, and lightweight.

Locknuts for Plastic Conduit Fittings

Secure threaded plastic conduit fittings to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure.
