Specification
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

The advantages of QBH
Product application
Hex jam nuts are thinner than a standard hex nut but have the same dimension across the flats and corners. Hex jam nuts have two common applications. A jam nut can be threaded onto a bolt and run tight against the standard nut which will lock the nut in place and prevent it from backing off. Jam nuts are sometimes used for leveling purposes as well.
Since hot-dip galvanizing typically adds 2.2 to 5 mils of thickness to the threaded portion of a fastener, galvanized hex jam nuts are tapped oversize to compensate for the corrosion resistant coating on the bolts.
