Product Overview
ASTM A307 Grade A nuts are carbon steel fasteners manufactured to meet the requirements of ASTM A563 and ASTM A307 standards. These nuts are designed for use with low-carbon steel bolts and threaded rods in general-purpose, non-critical applications where high strength is not required. ASTM A307 Grade A nuts are commonly supplied as hex nuts, finished hex nuts, and heavy hex nuts, and are suitable for use in structural, construction, and light industrial assemblies.
These nuts are widely specified for use with ASTM A307 Grade A bolts and threaded rods in building construction, machinery, and OEM assemblies. They are available in both plain and zinc-plated finishes, providing basic corrosion resistance for indoor and mild outdoor environments.
