  1. HEXAGONAL BOLTS & NUTS THE REASON BEHIND PRESENTED BY Wrights Auto Supplies

  2. THE BASICS Nuts and Bolts always go together, and without any one they don't solve the purpose. They are made to hold two parts together, firmly. The nuts are the ones with the strung openings, and the ones that are intended to coordinate and fit well are the bolts. What are the Different Types? There are different kinds (in terms of shapes) of nuts and bolts, including hex nuts, cap nuts, inserts, knurled nuts, lugs, and some more. Each type of nuts and bolts serves a specific purpose that they are most appropriate for. But time has proved that hexagonal nuts and bolts are the most preferred and used across the world. Hexagonal fasteners are utilized in varied assortments. They are used in furniture, electrical appliances, building frames, toys, cars, and much more. The Materials Used They are generally made a variety of from brass, stainless steel, galvanized chrome, and silicone bronze. Erosion safe materials, similar to stainless steel, comprising of 18% chromium and 5% nickel, otherwise known as 18-8SS, are among the most desirable ones. These are often used for outer regions.

  3. THE MOST COMMON SHAPE You would have seen nuts and bolts mostly in hexagonal shape. But is there a reason behind it? Of course there are and here we will explain that. The Reason Behind Hexagonal Shape of Nuts and Bolts The hexagonal shape makes them simple to turn and they are easy to use than other sorts of fasteners. With six equals, you need to turn a nut only one-sixth to reach the next flat level. When you fix a hexagonal bolt and nut, its easy to use with a wrench. Because of their sides, they require a turning range of only 30 degrees to arrive at the flat level equal. Think about circular or square bolts and nuts which needs to be turned full circle and one-fourth of the way respectively to arrive at the next level equal. So, hexagonal bolts and nuts are used which require just one- sixth turning to reach the next flat level.

  4. UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED To Keep Something Universal While the simplicity to turn them, has made the hexagonal shape a globally acknowledged norm. If bolts and nuts included a wide range of shapes, they wouldn’t be viable with one another. If there was no universal shape, it would be difficult to make a product universally accepted. Also, a bolt or nut having more than six sides might break or crack. Thus, the hexagon has become the most driving shape. So, the manufacturers focus on making hexagonal fasteners and nuts.

  5. WHERE TO FIND? You can discover bolts and nuts in different shapes; however, none of them is more viable than a hexagon. The hexagonal shape diminishes the necessary turning distance, which makes bolts and nuts simpler to turn. There are different brands that make automotive nuts and bolts. They come in a variety of sizes, finishes, materials, and grades. You can procure them directly from the manufacturer's website or through wholesalers who keep many brands for sale.
