A finished hex nut is the most basic of nuts – the six-sided nut that almost everyone first pictures in their mind when they hear the word “nut” in an industrial context.  Hex is short for hexagon, referencing the six sides of the nut. These nuts feature internal threading and are commonly used with machine thread bolts and screws, in applications where no “locking” mechanism is required.

Description

Hex Nuts are six sided hexagon nuts, used for tightening bolts and screws. Hex nuts are often found with hex headed bolts. However its use is not limited to only hex headed bolts. Hexagonal body enables easy wrenching while putting enough torque to the bolting joint. Hex nuts can be used with all kinds of bolts. Hexagon nuts, six sided nuts are other alias of hex nuts. Hex nut dimensions are defined in both metric and imperials sizes with unified national coarse pitch (UNC), fine pitch (UNF), fixed pitch (UN) and iso metric thread profile. These are produced across all material categories and astm specifications.
