Plated Alloy Nuts in SAE Sizes

A standard hex nut is the everyday partner to a machine screw, and this category collects plated alloy nuts in SAE threads for general assembly work. The plating adds a measure of corrosion resistance to the steel underneath.

The range steps through the familiar small threads, including 2-56, 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, and 10-32, and continues up to a coarser 1/4-20 for larger jobs. That spread covers the fasteners most model builders reach for, so a plain nut is on hand to pair with a bolt or a length of threaded rod.

Unlike a locking nut, a plain hex nut relies on proper tightening, thread locker, or a second jam nut to stay in place, which makes it a flexible choice where you may want to adjust or disassemble the joint later.
