Hobson NHMSZW018 3/16" BSW Hex Nut, Grade 2, Zinc Plated

A hex nut is the standard six-sided nut. It is turned with a spanner or socket onto a bolt, stud or threaded rod of the same thread form, diameter and pitch. This page lists one Hobson BSW hex nut (BSW thread, Grade 2, zinc plated finish): 3/16".

Hobson defines Gr as the imperial grade-strength level of a screw or nut, for example Grade 2, Grade 5 or Grade 8 (manufacturer-stated).

The Hobson strength tables cover bolts, not nuts, so no strength figures are published for these nuts.

Hobson defines BSW as British Thread Standard Whitworth and TPI as threads per inch (manufacturer-stated).

Threads per inch come from the Hobson thread table, for the sizes it lists (manufacturer-stated).

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Match the nut to the bolt, stud or rod: thread form, diameter and pitch must all agree. Sizes are nominal thread diameters in inches; compare the threads per inch with your bolt. Choose the class or grade to suit the bolt you are fastening, and confirm the pairing with your specification if the joint is load-critical.
