    Coupling Nuts

    Also known as extension nuts, these are commonly used to connect lengths of threaded rod and join threaded parts.
    Low-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Coupling Nuts. Coupling Nuts.
    Rated Grade 2 or lower, these are about half as strong as medium-strength steel coupling nuts. Use them with threaded rods that have a comparable 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.

    These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are about twice as strong as low-strength steel coupling nuts. Use them with threaded rods that have a comparable strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.

    Black-Oxide Steel—A dark, matte coating creates a finished look. Nuts offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    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—The most corrosion-resistant stainless steel coupling nuts we offer, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Round Coupling Nuts

    Less bulky than hex coupling nuts, these have a smooth, round body that fits in tight spots. Their finished appearance makes them a common choice for decorative applications. Tighten by hand, or use soft-jaw pliers to avoid marring the outside surface. Also known as extension nuts, they are commonly used to connect lengths of threaded rod and join threaded parts.

    High-Profile Hex Nuts

    Slightly taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these have a larger gripping area so your wrench or socket won't slip off as you tighten them. They're often used in vehicles and machinery where fasteners can be difficult to reach.
    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.

    Square Weld Nuts

    With four symmetrical projections, these nuts create the strongest hold in our offering. Unlike rectangular weld nuts, each projection is equidistant from the threads, so welds wrap evenly for extra strength and twist resistance. Projections concentrate heat away from the threads to prevent them from deforming and create consistent welds. All nuts have a collar pilot that guides them into the hole, holds them in place while welding, and protects the threads from weld spatter.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust. Made of uncoated steel, these nuts require minimal prep. Weld them to uncoated steel surfaces.

    Add permanent threads to thin metal with our go-to weld nuts. Unlike press-fit and rivet nuts, these nuts fuse to the base metal, so they won’t twist and pull out. Three evenly spaced projections concentrate heat away from the threads to prevent them from deforming and create consistent welds. All have a collar pilot that guides the nut into the hole, holds it in place while welding, and protects the threads from weld spatter. You can also install them on thick pieces of metal.
