Why Choose Brass Hex Nuts for Machine Screws?Brass offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in moist or marine environments, and is widely used for its non-sparking and electrically conductive properties. Unlike steel, brass doesn’t rust, making it a durable option for indoor and outdoor use. The hex design provides a strong grip for hand or tool-tightening.
Common Applications:
Electrical components and panels – due to brass’s excellent conductivity
Plumbing fixtures – non-corrosive and safe around water
Lighting and ceiling fan assemblies
Musical instruments and small appliances
Decorative projects – brass’s natural golden hue adds aesthetic appeal
Marine and boat hardware
