Description
304 Stainless Steel Nuts manufactured to ANSI B18.2.2 are precision-engineered hex nuts designed to deliver reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening in a wide range of applications. Produced from high-quality 304 stainless steel, these nuts offer excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and wear, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The classic hex nut design ensures easy installation and removal using standard tools, while the deep, uniform internal threads provide consistent load distribution and a secure, long-lasting connection when paired with compatible bolts or threaded rods. These stainless steel nuts are widely used in construction, automotive, machinery, and general manufacturing where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential.
Features & Benefits
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Made from 304 stainless steel, these nuts are highly resistant to rust and oxidation, providing long-term reliability in humid and outdoor environments.
- High Durability: The material's high hardness ensures the hexagonal nut will not deform under tension, providing a robust and dependable fastening solution.
- Hexagonal Shape: Standard hex nut design for easy handling and installation, preventing slipping during use.
- Standardized Precision: Conforming to the ANSI B18.2.2 standard, these nuts feature a deep, uniform thread that is easy to lock and provides a strong grip without slipping.

FAQ:
Q1: What are 304 stainless steel nuts commonly used for?
They are widely used in construction, automotive, machinery, and general manufacturing applications that require corrosion-resistant and durable fasteners.
Q2: What is the benefit of the ANSI B18.2.2 standard?
A: This standard ensures that the hex nut meets strict dimensional and thread requirements. This precision guarantees that the nut will fit perfectly with any matching ANSI-standard bolt, providing a reliable and safe mechanical lock.
Q3: Can these nuts be reused?
A: Yes. Due to their high hardness and resistance to deformation, these nuts can be installed and removed multiple times. However, always inspect the threads for wear or galling before re-installation in critical load-bearing applications.
Q4: How do I prevent "galling" during installation?
A: Stainless steel threads can sometimes "lock" (gall) if tightened too quickly or under high friction. To prevent this, ensure the threads are clean and consider using a small amount of anti-seize lubricant during assembly.
Q5: What fasteners can be used with these nuts?
They are designed to work with compatible ANSI-standard bolts, threaded rods, and studs of the same thread size.
