A4 Stainless Steel UNC Bolts, Nuts and Washers

Commonly referred to as a setscrew and longer versions are referred to in the United States as a tap bolt. A standard spanner or ratchet is typically used to fit this product. Used for decades on all types of assembly throughout the world. The hex drive allows a higher torque to be applied. Produced to ASME B18.2.1.

The most common type of fastener, a hex head bolt is designed to be tightened with a standard spanner or ratchet and socket. Popularly used in all assemblies, a standard hex bolt is a staple across the world. Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1, and includes an unthreaded section of the shaft. A hex drive permits a greater torque load to be applied to the joint over most other drive types.

Also known as an Allen screw or Allen bolt, or simply a cap screw, socket head cap screws are a more modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found on much modern machinery. A hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) is required to fit these fasteners. Conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3, the contact surfaces of this screw or bolt are protected from external damage. Generally manufactured with a partial thread beyond a certain length and nominal diameter combination, but occasionally some stock may include a fully threaded shank at the same combination.

A countersunk headed screw conforming with ASME/ANSI B18.3, requiring a hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) to fit. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Generally manufactured with a full thread, though occasionally some stock may include a partially threaded shank.

A popular and attractive socket head screw, typically used where aesthetics are important, or where a lower profile domed finish is required. The hex drive is generally smaller than other hex driven ranges and thus the ultimate tightening torque is reduced. Manufactured to ASME/ANSI B18.3, and always fully threaded.

Flexible usage threaded bar or threaded rod to ASME B18.31.3.

Hexagon full nut to ASME B18.6.3. Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket. The most popular nut type, and used for decades on all types of assembly throughout the world.

Hexagon Machine Screw Nuts (UNC - Unified Coarse Pitch) imported from the USA. These nuts generally have smaller internal diameters than the range available in standard hexagon nuts, so fit the smaller gauge sizes for Imperial screws. They also tend to be thinner or lower in height but have a larger outer diameter. These are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with other UNC screws or bolts. Often used in small electrical goods manufacturing, such as computers and hifi systems.

Prevailing torque type nut manufactured to IFI-100/107. Popularly employed Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket.

Prevailing torque nut, thin type. Popularly employed Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket.

An hexagon nut with incorporated flange. The flange offers protection for the bolted component where the driving tool may otherwise scratch it's surface. The flange also lessens the need to use a washer. This particular version has serrations on the base.

Larger and thicker variant of a standard hexagon full nut. Generally used with large diameter and high strength bolts, and manufactured to ASME B18.2.2. These nuts are manufacured with a double chamfer (chamfered both sides), but sizes larger than 7/16 will likely include a flat or washer face on one side. Please bear this in mind when ordering.

Also known as a long nut, these coupling or connector nuts are typically employed in joining sections of threaded bar/studding together where required.

Flat washer manufactured to BS 3410 Table 3 Light Specification.

Imperial Commercial Series washers imported from the USA. Similar thickness to the imperial Table 3 washers, also available on this site, but with a larger outer diameter. Available in 316 (A4) grade stainless steel, so ideal for marine use.

Spring washer designed to help prevent loosening of bolted joints under vibration. Also know as a Split Lock Washer and a Split Ring Washer. This type has a rectangular section and is manufactured to ASME B18.21.1-1999. Where even distribution of load on the mating surface is the primary requirement an alternative spring washer or a flat washer would be a more suitable solution. In addition Spring Washers do not offer protection for the material being fastened.

Nord-Lock washers, also known as wedge-locking washers, secure bolts with tension instead of friction. Working as a pair, these washers create a wedge-effect underneath the bolt head or nut so that the joint is prevented from loosening unintentionally. Nord-Lock washers are quick and easy to install and remove, and they are reusable. Supplied as a glued pair, they are appropriate for use in vehicles, for DIY and for watersport equipment. Most sizes are available in two external diameters: the smaller standard type listed here, and the larger SP type. Here you will find the specific imperial sizes; please refer to the data sheet and the metric section for other appropriate sizes.
