Heavy Hex Nut
Heavy Hex Nuts are thicker and wider than standard hex nuts, providing greater strength and load distribution. Designed for use in high-strength structural applications, they are commonly paired with heavy hex bolts, studs, and other high-tensile fasteners.

Industrial Applications
Heavy Hex Nuts are widely used in:
- Electrical panels and assemblies: Provide durable fastening for heavy-duty electrical structures and supports.
- Automotive and transport industry: Used in trucks, trailers, railways, and heavy vehicles for secure joints.
- Construction and structural steelwork: Fasten steel beams, columns, and load-bearing frameworks.
- Oil, gas, and petrochemical plants: Provide high-strength fastening for pipelines, flanges, and pressure vessels.
- Power plants and machinery: Ensure vibration-resistant fastening in turbines, boilers, and heavy-duty equipment.
Product Description
Heavy Hex Nuts feature larger and thicker dimensions compared to standard hex nuts, providing greater surface contact and higher resistance to loosening under vibration. Their increased size allows for the application of more torque, ensuring reliable fastening in demanding conditions. These nuts are commonly used in bolted joints where high tensile strength is essential, such as structural steel connections, heavy equipment, and pressure systems. Heavy hex nuts are available in various material grades and finishes to meet diverse industrial requirements.
