Heavy Hex Nuts

Heavy Hex Nuts

Heavy hex nuts are used when more “beef” is needed than in standard hex nuts. Often heavy hex nuts are used in high temperature and high pressure applications, particularly those involving flanged joints. Generally the width across the flats is 1/8 of an inch larger than common hex nuts. The thickness of heavy hex nuts is equal to approximately the nominal diameter, which is about 10% thicker than a regular hex nut.
