Hexagon weld nuts have six surfaces and can be easily clamped by a wrench. It has a unique design. One side is like an ordinary nut and has threaded holes, while the other side has three small soldering points and a raised platform. Can be compatible with bolts of different thicknesses.
Hexagon weld nuts have six flat surfaces, just like standard hexagonal nuts. If you need to hold the nut itself when tightening or loosening the bolt, especially in a narrow space, you can use a wrench to grip the flat surface of the nut. You can weld them onto the metal plate just like other types of nuts, but the hexagonal shape provides you with an additional grip option when needed in the future.
They weld easily. There is no need to drill holes on the welded part. Just place it at the position to be fixed and it can be firmly connected to the welded part through welding. It is much more convenient than ordinary nuts that need to be screwed on. The three solder joints are evenly stressed and can withstand considerable tension and torsion, and will not easily loosen.
When installing hex weld nuts, you need to clean the welding point, position it and weld it, usually through the holes at the bottom or around. The hexagonal shape itself does not have a significant impact on the welding process. The main difference lies in the reason why you choose it: when you anticipate that you will need to tighten the nut with a wrench in the future.
One point to note when using hexagon weld nuts is the sharpness of the nut angle. If the hexagonal angle of the nut is too round, the wrench may slip when being held. High-quality nuts will have sufficiently clear and sharp angles so that the wrench can fit properly. If you know that you will need to use the wrench to tighten the nut in the future, please check this; it is very important for the grip strength.
