Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel Metric Hex Finish Nuts?
Our A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nuts at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com, also known as A2 metric hex nuts, are standard hexagonal nuts crafted from A2 stainless steel (equivalent to 18-8 or 304 stainless steel, with 18% chromium, 8% nickel). These nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for indoor, outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments. Designed with metric threading, they pair seamlessly with metric bolts or screws for secure fastening. Available in sizes like M4-0.7, M6-1.0, M10-1.5, up to M14, they meet ASME B18.2.2, DIN 934, IFI tolerances, REACH, and RoHS standards. Their hexagonal shape ensures easy wrench or plier tightening, making them perfect for automotive, construction, and general-purpose fastening projects requiring durability and reliability.
- Corrosion Resistance: A2 stainless steel excels in indoor and outdoor settings.
- Metric Precision: Threaded for metric bolts, ensuring a secure fit.
- Versatile Design: Hexagonal shape for easy installation with standard tools.
- High Standards: Compliant with ASME B18.2.2 and DIN 934 for performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nuts are hexagonal nuts made from corrosion-resistant A2 stainless steel, with metric threading for general-purpose fastening with metric bolts or screws.
How do A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nuts differ from A4 stainless steel nuts?A2 stainless steel nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance for general indoor and outdoor use, while A4 (316) stainless steel nuts provide superior resistance for marine or highly corrosive environments.
Are A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nuts suitable for marine environments?They are suitable for mildly corrosive settings, but for marine environments, A4 stainless steel or silicon bronze nuts are recommended for better saltwater resistance.
How do I install A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nuts?Thread the nut onto the metric bolt or screw, tightening with a wrench or pliers until secure, ensuring proper alignment to avoid cross-threading.
How do I choose the right size A2 stainless steel metric hex finish nut?Select based on the bolt’s thread size, such as M4-0.7, M6-1.0, or M10-1.5. Ensure the nut’s thread pitch matches the bolt for a secure fit.
