Brass Hex Nut

Brass Hex Nut

Brass Hex Nuts are manufactured from an alloy of copper and zinc. Dimensional specifications are governed by ASME B18.2.2 for finish nuts, and ASME B18.6.3 for the smaller diameter machine nuts. There are no grade markings on brass hex nuts. Brass fasteners are commonly used by electrical and communications industries, builders hardware and some marine applications. These nuts provide corrosion resistance in wet environments, offers thermal and electrical conductivity, and are nonmagnetic.

Governing StandardsBrass

ASME B18.2.2 Covers the complete general and dimensional data for the various types of inch series square and hex nuts, including machine screw nuts and coupling nuts.
ASME B1.1 UNC & UNF Class 2B Specifies the thread form, series, class, allowance, tolerance, and designation for unified screw threads.
