Heavy 316 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts – Strength and Corrosion Resistance for the Toughest Applications

Heavy 316 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts are engineered to provide exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability in the most demanding environments. Made from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, these hex nuts are ideal for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, saltwater, and extreme weather.

The 316 stainless steel alloy includes molybdenum, which significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and corrosion compared to 304 stainless steel. This makes Heavy 316 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts a preferred choice in marine construction, chemical processing, oil and gas, food-grade manufacturing, and outdoor structural projects.

These nuts are classified as “heavy” due to their thicker body and increased load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for high-strength applications. They are often used with stainless steel bolts and washers to create secure, corrosion-resistant assemblies.

Key Specifications:

• Material: 316 Stainless Steel (A4 grade)

• Size Range: 1/4" to 1-1/2" diameter

• Thread Type: UNC (coarse) or UNF (fine)

• Standards: Conforms to ASTM A194, ASME B18.2.2
