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.

Steel

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

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.

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.

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.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these nuts won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

Highly Corrosion-Resistant Black-Oxide 316 Stainless Steel—Combines a finished appearance with the rust resistance of 316 stainless steel. Even if the coating wears off, these nuts will hold up in just about any environment, including salt water and most chemicals.

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.

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.

Seize-Resistant Nitronic 60 Stainless Steel—With an inherently slippery surface, these nuts are less likely than 410 stainless steel nuts to stick and bind as you install them. Since they don't need coating or lubricant, they're often used in particle-free environments. They also stand up to salt water and mild chemicals, such as cleaners and degreasers.
