DH Heavy Hex Nut, Galvanized

ASTM A563 Grade DH heavy hex nuts are commonly used in structural bolting applications. ASTM A563 covers standard specifications for carbon and alloy steel nuts. Grade markings consists of the grade symbol "DH".They are a common high strength nut used mainly in structural applications with F3125 Grades A325 and A490 bolting. In many applications, A194 Grade 2H nuts can be substituted for A563 Grade DH nuts. Dimensional specifications are governed by ASME B18.2.2. Heavy hex nuts provide increased bearing surface area over finished nuts. Available in hot dipped galvanized finish, dyed & waxed for added lubrication and accurate torquing.

1. To determine nut proof load in pounds, multiply the appropriate nut proof load stress by the tensile stress area of the thread.
2. Non-zinc-coated nuts are nuts intended for use with externally threaded fasteners which have a plain (nonplated or noncoated) finish or have a plating or coating of insufficient thickness to necessitate overtapping the nut thread to provide assemblability. Zinc-coated nuts are nuts intended for use with externally threaded fasteners which are hot-dip zinc-coated, mechanically zinc-coated, or have a plating or coating of sufficient thickness to necessitate overtapping the nut thread to provide assemblability.
3. Nuts made in accordance with the requirements of Specification A194/A194M, Grade 2H, and marked with its grade symbol are an acceptable equivalent for Grade DH nuts. When A194 zinc-coated inch series nuts are supplied, the zinc coating, overtapping, lubrication and rotational capacity testing shall be in accordance with Specification A563.
