Hex nuts are one of the most common nuts available and are used with anchors, bolts, screws, studs, threaded rods and on any other fastener that has machine threads. Hex is short for hexagon, which means they have six sides. Hex nuts are also known as finished hex nuts. Lock washers may be used with hex nuts. Hex nut size refers to its nominal thread diameter. Typically, sizes range from 1/4" to about 2 1/2". Size is specified in inches, usually fractional rather than decimal. To ensure full thread engagement with the hex nut, bolts/screws should be long enough to allow at least two full threads to extend beyond the nut face after tightening. Conversely, there should be two full threads exposed on the head side of the nut to make sure the nut can be properly tightened.
