Heavy hex jam nuts are thinner than standard heavy hex nuts, while maintaining the same dimensions across the flats and corners. These nuts are commonly used in two key applications:
Locking Application – A heavy hex jam nut is threaded onto a bolt and tightened against a standard heavy hex nut. This action locks the primary nut in position and helps prevent it from loosening or backing off.
Leveling Application – Jam nuts are also widely used for leveling and adjustment purposes in structural and mechanical assemblies.
Since hot-dip galvanizing adds approximately 2.2 to 5 mils of thickness to the threaded portion of a fastener, our galvanized heavy hex jam nuts are tapped oversize to ensure proper fit and compatibility with galvanized bolts.
