Steel Hex Weld Nuts
With three weld points, these hex weld nuts create a secure hold on steel surfaces. They stand up to high torque and pull force better than rivet and press-fit nuts, making them the strongest way to add permanent threads to sheet metal. You can also install them on thick pieces of metal. Made of uncoated steel, they require minimal prep for welding to uncoated steel surfaces. All have a collar pilot to guide the nut into the hole and hold it in place while welding. This also protects the threads from weld spatter.
All nuts meet ASME B1.1 and comply with specifications for dimensional standards.

Square Weld Nuts
Square weld nuts have more weld points than hex nuts for a stronger hold. Use them to add strong, permanent threads to uncoated steel surfaces. They stand up to more torque and pulling force than rivet nuts. These fasteners are uncoated, so they require minimal preparation before welding. 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.
Nuts that meet ASME B1.1 comply with specifications for dimensional standards.
Steel Low-Profile Narrow-Base Weld Nuts with Projections
Projections on the base concentrate the weld and create space for heat to dissipate, protecting the threads on these steel weld nuts from deforming. They have a slim base and a short barrel for use in tight spaces, such as channels, and in low-clearance areas. These weld nuts stand up to high torque and pull force better than rivet and press-fit nuts, making them the strongest way to add permanent threads to sheet metal. Made of plain steel, these nuts weld to uncoated steel with minimal preparation. You can also weld them onto thick metal surfaces.

Stainless Steel Low-Profile Narrow-Base Weld Nuts with Projections
Projections on the base concentrate the weld and create space for heat to dissipate, protecting the threads on these weld nuts from deforming. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, they withstand mild chemicals and can be used in wet and outdoor environments. They have a slim base and a short barrel for use in tight spaces, such as channels, and in low-clearance areas. These weld nuts stand up to high torque and pull force better than rivet and press-fit nuts, making them the strongest way to add permanent threads to stainless steel sheets. You can also install them onto thick pieces of stainless steel.

Steel Offset-Barrel Narrow-Base Weld Nuts
An offset barrel allows you to position threads near edges and corners. Use these nuts to add strong, permanent threads to uncoated steel sheet metal or thick uncoated steel surfaces. With a narrow base, they fit in channels and other tight spaces where round-base nuts do not. They have a short barrel, so they fit in low-clearance areas, too. They stand up to more torque and pull force than rivet nuts.
Uncoated steel weld nuts require minimal preparation before welding.
Zinc-plated steel weld nuts resist corrosion in wet environments. They require some preparation before welding, such as grinding off the plating from the part of the nut you intend to weld.
Stainless Steel Offset-Barrel Narrow-Base Weld Nuts
These weld nuts have an offset barrel so you can position threads near edges and corners. Weld them to thin and thick stainless steel surfaces to add strong, permanent threads that won’t corrode from contact with chemicals. With a narrow base, they fit in channels and other tight spaces where round-base nuts do not. They have a low profile, so they fit in low-clearance areas, too. These nuts have a flat base that acts as a flange to distribute the load, so they stand up to greater torque and pull force than rivet nuts.

Aligning Weld Nuts
Threads float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. Weld these nuts to metal surfaces for a strong, permanent hold. They stand up to high torque and pulling force better than rivet nuts.
For the strongest threads, choose steel nuts. Nuts with a steel retainer should be welded to uncoated steel surfaces.
