Heavy Hex Nut, Stainless

Heavy Hex nuts made of 18-8 and 316 stainless steel are available in a variety of sizing options. They are similar to finished hex nuts in general shape and application; but are thicker, wider, and stronger. When selecting the best heavy hex nut for your application, be certain to consider the strength requirements as well as environmental concerns. Plain steel heavy hex nuts will not be suitable for harsh environments, for example a user might need to consider a heavy hex nut made of stainless steel. Additionally, a successful application will require the hex nut diameter and pitch to match that of the accompanying bolt. High load or structural applications will often require a heavy hex nut to secure the connection with a heavy hex bolt.
