Inch-to-Metric Female Hex Thread Adapters
Adapt threaded rods from inch to metric. These adapters connect two male-threaded fasteners, so you can change the gender of a mating part or increase or decrease its thread size. The hex-shaped body fits into the head of a standard wrench. Small adapters can also be used as standoffs, positioning and separating circuit boards and other components in assemblies.
Choose black-oxide steel adapters to match the aesthetics of your system or for their mild corrosion resistance. The finish won't chip or rub off. They resist rust in indoor and dry environments, but avoid using them in corrosive environments.
Zinc-plated steel adapters are a good option in dry environments. The zinc plating prevents the steel from corroding until the plating wears away.
18-8 stainless steel adapters resist corrosion caused by water. They're good for wet and damp environments but will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chloride solutions.
At about a third of the weight of steel adapters, aluminum adapters are the lightest we offer. They resist corrosion in wet environments.

Metric-to-Metric Female Hex Thread Adapters
Increase or decrease metric thread size from one male-threaded part to another. Commonly used to connect two differently sized threaded rods, these adapters have a hex-shaped body, so you can tighten them with a standard wrench. You can also use them to change thread pitch or convert a male-threaded connection to a female-threaded connection. Small adapters can work as threaded standoffs, positioning and separating circuit boards and other components in assemblies.
Adapters that meet ASTM specifications are made from or plated with materials that adhere to specific standards for chemical and physical properties, such as hardness.
Black-oxide steel adapters have a finish that won’t chip or rub off. They match the aesthetics of many systems. They resist rust in indoor and dry environments but will degrade in outdoor and highly corrosive environments.
Zinc-plated steel adapters are a good option in dry environments. The zinc plating prevents the steel from corroding until the plating wears away.
Aluminum adapters are about one third of the weight of steel adapters. They resist corrosion in wet environments.
18-8 stainless steel adapters resist corrosion in wet environments. However, they will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chloride solutions.
316 stainless steel adapters withstand wet environments and resist corrosion caused by salt water and harsh chemicals.
