Heavy Profile Hex Nut

The majority of machinery and equipment can be fastened with these Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation. 

These nuts, which are rated Class 10, Grade 8, or C, are around 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. They are frequently used to secure parts in high-stress applications such as motors, pumps, and valves. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation. 

These nuts are almost half as strong as medium-strength nuts and are rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower. They work well for light-duty fastening tasks like locking access panels. In order to prevent thread stripping during installation, use them with screws that have a comparable strength grade. 

400 Nickel—An affordable substitute for titanium, 400 nickel is also referred to as Monel. These nuts can withstand strong acids and salt water just as well as rusting. They are frequently used to secure gauges and other parts on valves, pumps, and shafts because they are stronger than C276 nickel nuts. 

These rust-resistant nuts are ideal for outdoor and damp settings. 

Silicon BronzeThese nuts are a suitable option for maritime areas because they are more resistant to salt water than brass. In addition, they are more resilient to wear and abrasion and stronger than brass. Select them for situations where adjacent components might rub against the nut, such as machinery with moving parts. 

Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are frequently used to fasten electrical components inside enclosures, including mounting brackets and circuit board assemblies. They won't harm other fastening elements because they are softer than most metals.
