5/8"-18 Grade 5 hex nuts
These zinc-plated steel hex nuts fit 5/8"-18 threaded bolts and machine screws. The pack contains 25 pieces for repetitive fastening tasks. Grade 5 rating suits general-purpose mechanical assembly. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered outdoor use.
Thermals noise and power
No thermal, acoustic or electrical characteristics apply to passive fasteners. The nuts generate no heat, produce no noise and draw no power during installation or service. Performance depends entirely on the bolt material, torque applied and joint design chosen by the installer.
Replaces worn or missing hardware
This pack restores a secure joint when original nuts are lost, stripped or corroded. The jump is worth it when a project needs multiple identical Grade 5 nuts in one purchase. Buyers who need a different thread pitch, a higher grade or stainless steel will not find those options here.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5/8"-18 Grade 5 hex nuts onto matching bolts without cross-threading?
Start each nut by hand-turning it clockwise onto the clean bolt threads until it seats fully, then tighten with a wrench; forcing it with a tool from the start is the step that damages the 18 threads per inch.
Will the zinc plating on these 25 hex nuts need replacement or maintenance over time?
The zinc coating protects the Grade 5 steel from corrosion; it is sacrificial and not serviceable, so once the plating wears through in a harsh environment the nut itself must be replaced.
What is the first limit reached when these Grade 5 nuts are under sustained vibration or load?
The proof load of the Grade 5 rating is reached before the threads strip, so the joint will loosen or the bolt will stretch once that stress threshold is exceeded.
