    Nylon 6/6— The most common plastic nuts, these are good for general purpose fastening. They are slippery and abrasion resistant, so they thread on smoothly and stand up to daily wear and tear. Nylon will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture, so these nuts are best for dry environments.

    Left-Hand-Thread Thin-Profile Hex Nuts

    These nuts tighten when turned to the left. Use them with left-hand rods and screws to prevent counterclockwise-moving parts from loosening. About half the height of standard-profile nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against another hex nut to hold it in place.
    Low-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Hex Nuts. Left-Hand-Thread Thin-Profile Hex Nuts.
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength nuts. They are suitable for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
    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.
