Square Nut

Description

Square Nut

Square Nut are also much less likely to become rounded-off after repeated loosening/tightening cycles. Hence these nuts are typically mated with square-headed bolts. Whereas they are used along with flat washers in order to avoid damage from its sharp edges and helps to increase the strength of the fastener. Moreover also known as utility-pole nuts. Moreover square nuts have a cupped shape that ensures a flush fit against curved surfaces. In the meantime corners that bite into soft materials to resist loosening.

General:

Hence Square nut can be tightened with pliers or a wrench, making them ideal for use in blind locations. Because Laborers can tighten and loosen a square shaped fastener without having it in sight. Although nut is long as a sturdy grip can be obtained on two opposing sides of the nut or bolt head. Therefore there are basically two major kinds of wrenches: Pipe wrenches used in plumbing for gripping round (cylindrical) things. Generally use wrenches used on nuts and bolts that have flat, parallel surfaces; e.g., square or hexagonal (hex).

A square nut is a four-sided nut. Compared to standard hex nuts, such as it have a greater surface in contact with the part being fastened, and therefore provide greater resistance to loosening (though also greater resistance to tightening).

Eventually they are also much less likely to become rounded-off after repeated loosening/tightening cycles. For this reason Square nuts are typically mated with square-headed bolts. Together with Square nuts are used along with flat washers in order to avoid damage from its sharp edges and helps to increase the strength of the fastener. Square nuts can have standard, fine or coarse threading with platings of zinc yellow, plain, zinc clear, tin and cadmium, among others. In the mean time most can meet either the ASTM A194, ASTM A563, or ASTM F594 standard.

Benefits

• Firstly Tighten easily by gripping two sides.
• Furthermore Work well in tight spaces by using needle nosed pliers.
• Indeed Work well in blind spots using pliers or a wrench.
• Lastly can be a quick gauge to measure the position of the nut.
