    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.
    Extreme-Strength Steel
    These nuts are about 20% stronger than high-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    PTFE-Coated Steel—A slippery PTFE coating prevents these nuts from becoming stuck during installation. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, however they're not recommended for prolonged exposure since the coating can wear off.

    Extreme-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Locknuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe Locknuts. Extreme-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Locknuts.
    With the strength to handle extreme pressures, these locknuts can be used to connect equipment in hydraulic fluid lines.
    Locknuts have a gasket, which creates a tight seal without the need for PTFE tape; screw one onto the male end of a fitting for extra holding power.
    303 Stainless Steel—303 stainless steel locknuts have very good corrosion resistance.

    Join aluminum or stainless steel pipe flanges. These kits come with corrosion-resistant screws and nuts in the right size and number to match your flange's bolt holes. The screws have a head with six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Screw length is measured from under the head. For a tight seal, you’ll also need a gasket between the flanges.
    316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel screws, these won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    PTFE-Coated 316 Stainless Steel—A slippery coating prevents these nuts from binding or sticking during installation. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments and can handle occasional exposure to mild acids and chemicals without corroding.

    Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges.
    These kits include the rods and nuts you need to connect standard-size pipe flanges. Their heavy duty material and construction keep tanks, valves, and flanges tightly sealed under heavy pressure. With a 10% wider profile than standard hex nuts, these hex nuts spread force over a larger area and can handle extra torque during installation. The rods are fully threaded to distribute and absorb high levels of clamping force. To ensure your pipe flange connection is tight, add a pipe flange gasket to your installation. These rods and nuts meet a number of rigorous industry specifications for high-pressure performance, high-temperature performance, and dimensional requirements.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges, Steel.
    With a tensile strength of 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods.
    Corrosion-Resistant PTFE-Coated Steel—A PTFE coating protects the steel from corrosion and pitting when exposed to chemicals, such as those found in cleaners and sanitizers. The coating is also slippery to thread on smoothly.
