PVC Hex Nut

Description

Most often used on machine screws and threaded rod, these general purpose nuts are for low-strength assemblies. Hex Nuts have flat tops with chamfered corners; bottoms may be flat or chamfered. Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench.

Polyvinylchloride, or PVC, exhibits little or no water absorption, absorbing 0.05% of its weight after 24 hours of exposure to water. Because it is chlorinated, PVC also possesses natural flame retardant qualities. PVC has one of the highest dielectric strengths of plastics, at 1413 volts per millimeter, making it an excellent insulator. PVC possesses average to above average strength compared to other plastics, with a tensile strength of 7450 psi (pounds per square inch) and an impact strength of 5 force pounds (Izod Impact Scale). The primary drawback of PVC is its low melting point temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine.
