Heavy hex nut

A heavy hex nut uses a hexagonal body larger than the corresponding regular-hex pattern in its applicable standards system and engages a compatible bolt or stud. “Heavy” describes geometry and does not by itself define grade or strength. Thread, proof load, material, finish and fastener compatibility must be selected from the joint's common specification.

Application and duty

Bolt and stud assemblies requiring heavy-hex geometry with fully matched thread and grade

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary
