Overview
Nuts provide the internal thread in a bolted joint. The nut must match the bolt or threaded rod size, pitch, material compatibility and required strength class.
This selected size is specified with thread 5/16 in.
Sold in multiples of '500 pieces. 1 Box = '500 pieces.
Material, Grade & Strength
Mild steel is an economical carbon steel option for general purpose fastening where high tensile strength is not required.
Finish & Corrosion Protection
Plain finish has no plated corrosion protection and is best used in protected, oiled, painted or indoor environments.
Typical Uses
Nuts are used with bolts, set screws, studs and threaded rod to create clamped joints that can be assembled, adjusted and serviced.
Technical Tips
- Match the nut thread size and pitch to the mating fastener.
- Use a compatible property class for high tensile bolts.
- Use locking nuts or thread locking methods where vibration is present.
- Use anti-seize on stainless-on-stainless assemblies where galling is a risk.
Selection Advice
Select the product by matching the thread, size, material, finish and function to the assembly. Avoid choosing only by appearance or a partial part number.
