Socket Nuts

Also known as Allen nuts, use these with socket head cap screws in recessed holes and tight spaces that don't have enough clearance for a wrench. Tighten them with a 6-point hex key. They can also be used as an insert by pressing or drawing them into nonhardened steel, cast iron, or soft nonferrous metal or by molding them into plastic, ceramic, fiber, and similar materials.

• Alloy Steel— Comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts.
• 18-8 Stainless Steel— Chemical resistant and may be mildly magnetic.
• Hex Key Drive— Driven with a 6-point hex key in tight, recessed holes.
• Insertable— Press, draw, or mold into softer materials as a threaded insert.
