Hex Nuts
Hex nuts in all their forms are widely used in construction and manufacturing. There are many different styles of hex nuts, including finished hex nuts, acorn nuts, lock nuts, and heavy hex nuts. They are available in many different grades of metal, with different finishes, and with coarse or fine threads. Choose from the options below to find the right hex nut for your project.
Note: The Coupling Nut – Reducing items use the Inch – Special option because they have two sizes of threads.

Read MoreQuick ViewHex Cap Screws, Grades 8
A hex cap screw is a six-sided bolt with a trimmed hex head and a washer face on the bearing surface. Informally, it is also called a Finished Hex Bolt. Hex cap screws have tighter tolerances than standard bolts of the same size, and so are often used where precise tolerances are needed. The standard hex screw specifications include ASTM A449 and SAE J429 Grade-8.

Read MoreQuick ViewMachine Screws
Machine screws are meant to hold two metal work pieces together, with the use of a threaded pre-tapped hole, or through a hole and held with a nut. They are threaded the entire length of the shank. For most styles of a machine screw, the length is measured from under the head to the end of the screw. For flat head machine screws, since they are intended to fit into a countersunk hole, their length is measured from the top of the screw head to the end of the screw.

Set Screws, Cup Point
Set Screws are essentially a headless bolt, which has a hex socket in the driving end. They are commonly used when a protruding head would be in the way of other moving parts. Their most common function is to secure two parts together, but without a pre-determined positioning point between them. A prime example is fixing a pulley wheel along a drive shaft, where the set screw in the wheel’s hub is tightened into the side of the drive shaft and holds them tight due strictly to friction.
Set screws are available either as a black hard steel alloy, or as stainless steel.
Because of its headless shape, and how it bores through its hole, a set screw is also known as a “grub screw”.

Square Nuts, Zinc
As the name implies, square nuts have a 4-sided, square design. This square profile provides a greater bearing surface when installing onto a bolt. Square nuts are designed for use with square headed bolts, and the large surface provides better resistance to loosening. When using square nuts, as with hex nuts, use flat washers of the correct size and material.

Aluminum Key Hole Washer
Aluminum key-hole washers are commonly used with combo truss machine screws and sidewalk bolts. They are used as an additional backing plate when storm panels keyways do not line up correctly. They are also often used to provide additional backing when sidewalk bolts have been changed out to truss head screws. They can be placed on after panels are installed.

Wing Nuts
Wing nuts are a type of specialty nut with a pair of wings to enable it to tighten without tools. The wings provide a grip for the thumb and finger for turning. They are commonly used where frequent adjustments or removals are needed, and can be made quickly at a later stage.
An alternative form of the wing nut has a washer built in, and is used to storm-proof the windows of a building. This washer face allows the wing nut to be used to secure plywood onto fixed anchors, where the hole in the plywood will be larger than the anchor studs it and the wing nut are being mounted on. This provides the advantage of having a larger surface bearing the pressure, while also eliminating the need of a separate washer that will often fall and get lost during storm-prep installation. -

DRYWALL SCREWS
Drywall screws fasten sheets of drywall (also called sheetrock or plasterboard) to the wall or ceiling support studs. Drywall screws with coarse threads are used to to attach to wood framing. Screws with fine threading are used for metal studs. Also, self-drilling versions are available for attaching to thicker metal support.
Most drywall screws have a tapered bugle head to penetrate the drywall without damaging the outer layer of paper. Trim head screws are used to attach trim pieces over the drywall, and have a very small head that disappears into the surface for easy finishing. K-lath screws have a large wafer head to easily attach wire mesh, or lath, to the frame studs to support plaster. Their low profile heads are easily covered over by the finished surface of tile, stone, brick, stucco, etc. -
