Hex Nuts are used for fastening to a hex head cap screw or bolt when mechanically joining materials together. Grade 2 is regular strength for everyday use. Made from low carbon steel. Use hot dipped galvanized finish or stainless steel where corrorsion is and rust is of concern or in exterior applications. Hot dipped galvanized finish provides one of the highest degree of corrosion resistance when compared to a steel zinc finish. Use grade 2 hex nuts with grade 2 hex head cap screws or hex bolts.
Hex Nuts are used for fastening to a hex head cap screw or bolt when mechanically joining materials together. Grade 5 hex nuts are medium strength for applications requiring higher load, tensile or shear strength such as children's playgrounds. Made from medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered for higher strength. Steel is zinc plated for moderate protection against rust. Use grade 5 hex nuts with grade 5 hex head cap screws or hex bolts.
Made from medium carbon steel, tempered and zinc plated. Best for areas where high strength is desired. Similar in strength to SAE Grade 5.
Paulin Metric Machine Screw Hex Nuts are designed to be used with machine screws, bolts and threaded studs to adhere facing materials and prevent tension and shear movement. Use in wood to wood, wood to metal, or metal to metal applications. Zinc-plating provides moderate corrosion resistance. Be sure to pre-drill any holes and to use washers and bolts that are a similar grade and finish.
Jam nuts are tightened against each other instead of against a material. They are often used when a nut needs to be locked into place without clamping against another object. They are about half of the size of a regular nut. Zinc plated for moderate protection against rust.
