Inch Sizes of 18-8 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Hex Head Nuts: Specifications and Benefits

18-8 stainless steel heavy-duty hex head nuts are designed for applications that require high strength, durability, and excellent corrosion resistance. These nuts are widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, and marine environments, where reliable fastening is crucial. Available in various inch sizes, they provide versatility for a broad range of fastening needs, from machinery to structural components.

Inch Sizes and Applications

18-8 stainless steel heavy-duty hex head nuts are available in inch sizes designed to fit bolts with matching diameters and thread pitches. Common inch sizes include:

  • 1/4"-20

  • 5/16"-18

  • 3/8"-16

  • 1/2"-13

  • 5/8"-11

  • 3/4"-10

  • 1"-8

These sizes ensure compatibility with a wide variety of bolt sizes used in structural and industrial applications. The inch sizes are defined by the bolt's diameter (in inches) and the number of threads per inch (TPI), making it easy to select the appropriate nut for specific fastening requirements. For example, the 1/4"-20 heavy-duty hex head nut fits a 1/4-inch diameter bolt with 20 threads per inch, ideal for general industrial applications.
