Notes

  1. Nuts of other grades and styles in ASTM A563 having specified proof load stresses greater than the grade and style of nut listed are also suitable.
  2. For nut selection purposes, fasteners with coatings that are not thick enough to require over-size tapped nuts are considered to be plain.
  3. For nut selection purposes, fasteners with any coating thick enough to require over-size tapped nuts are considered to be zinc coated.
  4. These fasteners are not normally supplied zinc coated due to risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
  5. Nuts of other grades and styles listed in ASTM A563 or A194 with proof load stress equal or greater than the minimum tensile strength of the anchor bolt are also suitable.
