Hex Flange Nut A2 Stainless Steel - 12M x 1.75 (18.0 Flats x 12.0 Thick x 26.0 Dia Flg) Qty-100

Hex flange nuts are hex nuts with a wide flange portion near one end that acts as an integrated non-spinning washer. Flange nuts are used to spread the load placed on the nut over a wider surface area to prevent the installation material from damage. The flange acts as a washer which allows the nut to fasten evenly to the surface of the installation material.

• A Metric Hex Flange Nut is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated, non-spinning washer.
• The flange assists in distributing the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to the area and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.
• Please Note: the serrations will scratch the surface. �There are non serrated flange nuts but they are not widely available.
• Flange nuts are available in serrated and non-serrated, the serrations create a locking action, allowing a serrated flange nut to be substituted for a lock nut.
• Flange nuts are available in Stainless Steel and Zinc Plated Steel for corrosion resistance.
