Tube-Connecting Nuts

Create strong joints in metal and plastic round tubes. Clips on both ends grip the sides of the tube to hold the nut in place. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer

To save on assembly time, these locknuts combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.

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.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—The dark zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture while creating a finished look.

Low-Strength Steel

Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.

Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

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.

Locknuts with Spring-Lock Washer

The curved, spring-like washer grips surfaces more tightly than tooth-lock washers for better vibration resistance. These locknuts also install just as quickly since you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material, tighten it down with a wrench or socket. The washer's smooth edges won't mar the surface like teeth can. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse these locknuts.

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.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

Narrow-Profile Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer

Since they're about 20% narrower, these locknuts fit in tight spaces where standard-profile nuts won't fit. They combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand and save on assembly time. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.
