Hex Nuts are six-sided fasteners commonly used to secure bolts and screws in a wide range of applications. While they are typically paired with hex head bolts, their compatibility extends to various bolt types. The hexagonal shape allows for easy engagement with tools, enabling sufficient torque to be applied during fastening.
Also referred to as hexagon nuts or six-sided nuts, they are available in both metric and imperial sizes, with threading options such as UNC (Unified National Coarse), UNF (Unified National Fine), UN (Unified National Fixed), and ISO metric profiles. These nuts are manufactured in a wide array of materials and grades, adhering to various ASTM and international standards.
