    Coupling Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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.

    Rated Grade 8 or Class 10, these are about 25% stronger than 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.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

    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.

    Brass—With a warm, polished look, these nuts are often chosen for their appearance. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant enough to stand up to wet environments. It is also softer than other metals, so it's easier to thread together.

    Round Coupling Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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
    3D CAD models available

    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.
