Coupling Nuts
Also known as extension nuts, these are commonly used to connect lengths of threaded rod and join threaded parts.
Low-Strength Steel
![]() |
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.
Black-Oxide Steel—A dark, matte coating creates a finished look. Nuts offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
Medium-Strength Steel
![]() |
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.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
Black-Oxide Steel—A dark, matte coating creates a finished look. Nuts offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
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.
Super-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.
