Metric Low-Strength Steel Square Nuts
Large flat sides make these metric nuts easy to grip with a wrench and keep them from rotating in channels and square holes. About half the strength of medium-strength steel square nuts, use them in light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Steel square nuts are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust.
Zinc-plated steel square nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Black zinc-plated steel square nuts resist corrosion in wet environments and have a black finish that blends in with dark surfaces.

Low-Strength Steel Square Nuts
Large flat sides make these nuts easy to grip with a wrench and keep them from rotating in channels and square holes. About half the strength of medium-strength steel square nuts, use them in light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Hot-dipped galvanized steel square nuts have a thick coating for better corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel nuts. They must be used with other hot-dipped galvanized fasteners.
