Key Features of Hex Long Nuts:

1. Increased Height/Length:

• Hex long nuts have a greater vertical dimension compared to standard hex nuts.

• Typical heights range from 1.5 to 3 times the height of a regular hex nut.

2. Hexagonal Shape:

• Like standard hex nuts, hex long nuts have a distinct hexagonal outer shape.

• This allows them to be tightened or loosened using a wrench or socket.

3. Internal Threads:

• Hex long nuts have internal threads that match a specific bolt or stud size.

• Common thread sizes include metric and standard/SAE threads.

4. Material Composition:

• Hex long nuts are usually made of steel, stainless steel, or other durable metals.

• This provides the necessary strength and corrosion resistance for the application.

Key Uses of Hex Long Nuts:

• Providing additional thread engagement length for bolts or studs

• Allowing for proper adjustment and positioning of components

• Preventing loosening or backing out of fasteners

• Adding stability and rigidity to assemblies

• Elevating components above the mounting surface

Benefits of Hex Long Nuts:

• Increased thread engagement for stronger, more secure connections

• Ability to span gaps or create space between components

• Improved load distribution and resistance to vibration or shock

• Versatility in adjusting and fine-tuning component positioning
