Our Diverse Range of Nut Fasteners and Nut Hardware

We pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of nuts to meet all your fastening requirements. Explore our selection below:

Acorn Nuts

Acorn cap nuts have a rounded top and give a nice look to connections. They also protect the threads of the screw. Available in sizes from #4-40 to ¾"-10 and materials like stainless steel, nickel-plated steel, chrome-plated steel, and brass.
High Crown Cap Nuts

High Crown Cap Nuts have a tall domed top that sticks out more from the male fastener for a polished look. Choose between rounded dome top and flat top designs in sizes from ⅜"-16 to ½"-13, crafted from durable 18-8 stainless steel.
Extra Tall Acorn Nuts

Extra Tall Acorn Nuts are a combination of traditional acorn cap nuts and extra tall ones. The extra tall nuts have tall domed tops and deep threading inside. Available in sizes from #10-24 to ½"-13, exclusively made from 18-8 stainless steel.
Extra Tall Flat Cap Nuts

Extra Tall Flat Cap Nuts are ideal when aesthetics and corrosion resistance are paramount. Crafted in the USA from 18-8 stainless steel, these nuts are available in sizes from ⅜"-16 to ½"-13, with different length options.
Coupling Nuts

Coupling Nuts, also called extension nuts, connect male fasteners together. People often use them to join threaded rods of the same size. Choose from materials like stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, zinc-plated steel, and aluminum.
Hex Flange Nuts - Serrated and Non-Serrated

Hex Flange Nuts have a wide flange that acts as a washer. They spread the load over a larger area. Serrated flange nuts enhance grip, while non-serrated excel at even load distribution. Available in various stainless steel grades and zinc-plated steel.
Hex Jam Nuts

Hex Jam Nuts are thinner than standard hex nuts and work well as lock nuts because of their slim profile. They complement other nuts to lock positions and fit in tight spaces. Find them in stainless steel, zinc-plated steel, brass, and silicon bronze.

This is just a sample of our extensive nut selection. We also offer specialized options such as T-Nuts, Wing Nuts, Castle Nuts, and Security Nuts to meet your specific project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nuts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between a standard hex nut and a lock nut?

A standard hex nut is a basic fastener with a hexagonal shape, while a lock nut incorporates features to prevent loosening under vibration or load. Lock nuts may use nylon inserts, deformed threads, or other mechanisms to increase friction and maintain a secure hold.

Are stainless steel nuts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, stainless steel nuts are excellent for outdoor applications due to their high corrosion resistance. They're particularly well-suited for marine environments or areas with high humidity or exposure to chemicals.

How do I ensure I'm selecting the correct size nut for my bolt?

To select the correct size nut, match both the diameter and thread pitch of your bolt. You can use a thread gauge or compare the bolt to a known size. When in doubt, consult our sizing charts or contact our support team for assistance.

What are the advantages of using flange nuts?

Flange nuts offer a built-in washer effect, distributing the load over a larger surface area. This can help prevent damage to the material being fastened and provide a more secure hold. They also simplify assembly by eliminating the need for a separate washer.

Do you offer bulk pricing on nuts?

Yes, we offer competitive bulk pricing on our nuts. For large quantity orders, please contact our sales team for a custom quote. We're committed to providing the best value for your fastener needs.
