Structural Heavy Hex Nuts

Structural heavy hex nuts, also known simply as heavy hex nuts, are designed to provide reliable fastening in structural and heavy-duty applications. These nuts are typically used in conjunction with structural heavy hex bolts, to create strong bolted joints in steel structures, bridges, and buildings. Made from high-strength ASTM-grade materials, structural heavy hex nuts withstand heavy loads and environmental stresses that other nuts are not designed to handle. They are often finished with protective coatings to resist corrosion and extend their service life. Also unlike traditional hex nuts, these fasteners are taller and wider in relation to their mating bolt to accommodate the additional load.

Structural heavy hex nuts are designed to be used with high-strength structural heavy hex bolts – which also typically meet ASTM specifications – to ensure the connections can handle the required loads and stresses without failure. They are available in various sizes and grades, each tailored to specific structural requirements. The use of these nuts in construction projects is governed by strict standards and regulations in order to meet the necessary safety and performance criteria.

Structural heavy hex nuts are designed for high-stress applications, are made from high-strength materials, and are typically wider and taller than traditional nuts. Low carbon hex nuts do not facilitate these stronger connections, but they are well suited for most general-purpose applications.
