Hex Slotted Nut, Plain (Inch)
Hex Slotted Nuts, Plain Finish, are precision-engineered fasteners designed for use with cotter pins to create a secure, locking connection on drilled bolts, clevis pins, or shafts. The slotted design on the top of the nut allows a cotter pin to pass through, preventing rotation and ensuring safety in critical assemblies. The plain (uncoated) finish provides excellent machinability and weldability, making these nuts ideal for indoor applications or where additional surface treatments will be applied.
Plain Hex Slotted Nuts are commonly used in automotive, agricultural, and machinery applications where vibration or movement could loosen standard nuts. Their uncoated steel construction ensures reliable torque control and strong thread engagement. Designed for use with cotter pins or safety wire, these nuts provide a positive locking mechanism in mechanical assemblies that require frequent maintenance or adjustment. The plain finish is ideal for secondary coatings or environments where corrosion exposure is minimal.
