Fractional Sizes Stainless Steel 316 Heavy Duty Hex Nut
Fractional Sizes of 316 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Hex Head Nuts
316 stainless steel heavy-duty hex head nuts are specifically engineered for high-strength, corrosion-resistant performance in demanding environments. These nuts are commonly used in marine, chemical, and industrial applications, where resistance to harsh conditions such as saltwater, high temperatures, and corrosive chemicals is vital. Available in various Fractional sizes, these heavy-duty hex head nuts offer versatile fastening solutions for a range of bolt sizes and applications.
Fractional Sizes and Applications
316 stainless steel heavy-duty hex head nuts come in several Fractional sizes designed to fit bolts with matching diameters and thread pitches. Common sizes include:
-
1/4"-20
-
5/16"-18
-
3/8"-16
-
1/2"-13
-
5/8"-11
-
3/4"-10
-
1"-8
These Fractional sizes ensure compatibility with a variety of bolt types, making them suitable for both light and heavy-duty fastening needs. For example, the 1/4"-20 heavy-duty hex head nut fits a 1/4-Fractional diameter bolt with 20 threads per Fractional, ideal for applications requiring moderate strength and corrosion resistance.
Specifications of 316 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Hex Head Nuts
