In structural joints like mating I-beams, columns, and joists, these nuts are made to hold ASTM A325 screws in place. 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.
Compared to high-strength steel nuts, these Grade DH nuts are roughly 20% stronger. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation.
