Because they are hardened, these nuts can withstand high temperatures and pressures without losing their strength. Use them in conjunction with ASTM A193 screws to secure vital parts such flanges and valves in heat exchangers, boilers, and pressure tanks. They can support heavier loads by spreading them over a greater area and are about 10% taller and wider than standard-profile hex nuts.
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 rust-resistant nuts are ideal for outdoor and damp settings.
