[500 BULK] Hex Jam Nuts 18/8 Stainless 1/2-13

Hex Jam Nuts 18/8 Stainless 1/2-13 are compact, reliable fasteners engineered to lock assemblies in place with minimal space. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, these jam nuts combine strength, corrosion resistance, and easy installation for a wide range of applications.

Key Features

• Material: 18/8 stainless steel (304) for strong corrosion resistance
• Finish: Satin stainless finish
• Type: Hex jam nut — thinner than a standard hex nut to bite against another nut and lock in place
• Thread Size: 1/2-13 UNC (coarse) for common machinery applications
• Compatibility: Works with standard 1/2" bolts and fasteners

Benefits

• Prevents loosening due to vibration when used correctly with a companion nut
• Excellent corrosion resistance in indoor, outdoor, and some marine environments
• Easy to install with standard wrenches; reusable for quick maintenance

Applications

Ideal for machinery, automotive assemblies, equipment housings, furniture hardware, and outdoor installations where a compact locking nut is required.

Care & Guidance

For highly corrosive or marine environments, consider 316 stainless steel variants. Pair with appropriate lock washers or thread-locking compounds as needed and ensure proper torque to avoid over-tightening.
