Square Nuts
Square nuts are four-sided nuts used in mechanical, industrial, and assembly applications where a large bearing surface and good wrenching access are needed. American Bolt Corporation supplies square nuts for use with bolts, studs, and threaded rod where increased surface contact and simple installation are desired.
Square nuts are commonly used in machinery, equipment panels, channel framing, and fixture applications where resistance to rotation and ease of installation matter.
What Is a Square Nut?
A square nut is a nut with four flat sides that provide more surface contact with the mating surface compared to hex nuts. The larger bearing surface helps distribute load and can reduce the risk of rounding or damage in softer materials.
Square nuts are also easier to hold with a wrench or pliers in confined spaces because of their shape. They pair with standard threaded fasteners where a low-profile twist-resistant connection is acceptable.
