Overview

Standard nuts, load-spreading washers and all-metal Stover lock nuts for correctly matched bolted assemblies.

01 / Detail

Complete bolted joints with matched components

Nuts and washers do different jobs within a bolted assembly, so each component should be selected with the connection in mind. We supply standard nuts, washers and Stover nuts in Alford for engineering, fabrication, construction and repair work. Nuts secure the matching thread, while washers can spread load and protect the contact surface. Stover nuts are all-metal prevailing-torque lock nuts designed for joints where resistance to loosening is required. Thread type, diameter, material, grade and finish should remain compatible across the bolt, nut and washer.

02 / Practical

Choose locking and load-spreading parts carefully

A standard nut may suit a general assembly, while a prevailing-torque option may be specified where movement or vibration could encourage loosening. Stover nuts achieve their locking action through their all-metal form rather than a nylon insert. Washer choice also depends on the contact area and load distribution required, with larger formats available for wider load spreading. Share the bolt details and application when enquiring so we can discuss matching components. You can purchase individual nuts and washers or order quantities for regular assembly work without a fixed box requirement.
