M24 Hex Coupling Nut, 316 Stainless Steel - CNUA4M24

The Metric Hex Coupling Nut, 316 Stainless Steel is a long hex nut with an internal thread through its full length. It joins two lengths of threaded rod or a rod and a bolt end to end.

This listing has 8 variants covering sizes M5 to M30.

A4 (316) stainless steel contains molybdenum (about 2 to 3 per cent), which improves its resistance to chlorides. It is the grade normally chosen for coastal, pool, marine and food-processing settings, and it costs more than A2 (304). Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.

Austenitic stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, although cold-worked parts can show weak magnetism. Use stainless washers and nuts with stainless fasteners, so the whole joint is made of the same material.
